Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) on Saturday predicted rains or thundershowers in eight divisions including Dhaka as a low pressure formed in the Bay of Bengal.
“Rains or thundershowers accompanied by temporary gusty or squally wind are likely to occur at many places over Barishal, Chattogram and Sylhet; at a few places over Dhaka, Mymensingh and Khulna; and at one or two places over Rajshahi and Rangpur with moderately heavy to heavy falls at places over Barishal, Chattogram and Sylhet divisions,” said a regular bulletin of the Met office.
A mild heatwave is sweeping over the districts of Rajshahi, Pabna and Chuadanga and it may abate.
Day and Night temperatures may remain nearly unchanged over the country.
Besides, a low-pressure area has formed over the northeast Bay and adjoining area and intensified into a well-marked low over the same area.
Under its influence, deep convection is continuing over the north Bay. South-west monsoon has advanced up to Chattogram and Sylhet divisions.
