The Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) has forecasted rain or thundershowers in all divisions, including Dhaka, over 24 hours starting from 9am on Wednesday.

“Light to moderate rain or thundershowers accompanied by temporary gusty winds are likely at most places in Rangpur and Sylhet divisions, many places in Mymensingh and Chattogram divisions, and a few places in Rajshahi, Dhaka, Khulna, and Barishal divisions, with moderately heavy to heavy falls at places in Rangpur, Mymensingh, Chattogram, and Sylhet divisions,” said a Met Office update.

The highest rainfall in the country, 60mm, was recorded in Cox’s Bazar’s Kutubdia in the 24 hours leading up to 6am on Wednesday.

Day temperatures may fall slightly, while night temperatures are expected to remain nearly unchanged across the country, according to the BMD.

The highest temperature recorded was 36 degrees Celsius in Sayedpur, Nilphamari, over 24 hours until 6 am on Wednesday, while the lowest temperature was 24 degrees Celsius in Rangamati.

Meanwhile, the monsoon is fairly active over Bangladesh and moderate over the north Bay.
