The Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) has forecast rain in parts of the country during the 24 hours commencing at 9am on Saturday.
“Light to moderate rain or thunder showers accompanied by temporary gusty wind and lightning flashes are likely to occur at many places over Chittagong and Sylhet divisions, at a few places over Rangpur, Rajshahi, Mymensingh and Barisal divisions and at one or two places over Dhaka and Khulna divisions with moderately heavy to heavy falls at places over Chittagong and Sylhet divisions,” it said.
A mild heat wave is sweeping over the districts of Rajshahi, Pabna, Nilphamari, Panchagarh, Kurigram, Feni and Chuadanga, and it may abate from some places.
Day temperature may fall slightly and night temperature may remain nearly unchanged over the country.
Meanwhile, the low-pressure area over northwest Bay and adjoining north Odisha-West Bengal coast intensified into a Well-marked low and now lies over the same area.
The axis of the monsoon trough runs through Punjab, Haryana, East Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Gangetic West Bengal, the centre of the well-marked low, and Assam across the southern part of Bangladesh.
Monsoon is fairly active over Bangladesh and moderate to strong elsewhere over North Bay.
