The monsoon season in Bangladesh is set to intensify further, as a low-pressure area is expected to form over the coastal regions in the coming days. This development is likely to bring heavy rainfall to many parts of the country, according to BMD’s latest weather bulletin on Friday.
A land depression over Northwest Madhya Pradesh has moved north-northeastwards and is now situated over Southwest Uttar Pradesh. This system is anticipated to continue its northward movement, it said.
The monsoon trough is currently running through Punjab, Haryana, the center of the land depression, Odisha, Gangetic West Bengal, Assam, and the southern part of Bangladesh. Monsoon activity is active over Bangladesh, with moderate to strong conditions prevailing over the North Bay, UNB reports.
Light to moderate rain or thundershowers accompanied by gusty winds are expected in most parts of Bangladesh, including Rangpur, Rajshahi, Mymensingh, Dhaka, Khulna, Barishal, Chattogram, and Sylhet divisions. In some areas, moderately heavy to very heavy rainfall is anticipated, the bulletin said.
While the day and night temperatures are expected to decrease slightly across the country, a mild heat wave continues to affect Mymensingh, Sylhet, Dhaka, Tangail, Kishoreganj, Narayanganj, Rajshahi, Bogura, Sirajganj, Nilphamari, Chuadanga, and Kushtia districts. However, the heat wave is expected to subside in some places.
