Weather to remain mainly dry elsewhere

Rain and Thunderstorms Forecast for Parts of Bangladesh

Bdbusinessdaily.com – Several areas of Bangladesh may experience rain, thunderstorms and brief gusty winds during the 24-hour period beginning at 9am today, while much of the rest of the country is expected to see mostly dry conditions.

The Bangladesh Meteorological Department has indicated that Chattogram and Sylhet divisions are most likely to receive widespread light to moderate rain or thundershowers. Mymensingh and Barishal divisions could also see isolated spells of rain and thunderstorm activity.

“Light to moderate rain or thundershowers, accompanied by temporary gusty winds, are likely to occur at many places over Chattogram and Sylhet divisions and at one or two places over Mymensingh and Barishal divisions, with moderately heavy to very heavy rainfall at places over Chattogram division,” said a Met Office bulletin issued this morning.

Heavier Rain Possible in Chattogram

The forecast highlights the possibility of moderately heavy to very heavy rainfall in some locations of Chattogram division. Residents in affected areas may experience changing conditions within a short time, particularly where thunderstorms develop. Temporary gusts can accompany these weather systems, making outdoor travel and activities less comfortable during periods of rain.

Rainfall is not expected to be equally distributed across the country. While the eastern and southeastern parts are more likely to be affected by showers, other regions may remain largely dry. Skies in those areas could become partly cloudy for brief periods, even where no rain develops.

This contrast means that weather conditions may differ considerably from one district to another. A location in Chattogram or Sylhet may receive repeated showers, while another part of the country could experience a dry day with intermittent cloud cover.

Temperatures May Ease Slightly

Both daytime and nighttime temperatures may decline a little across Bangladesh during the forecast period. The expected decrease is likely to bring a modest change in overall conditions, although temperatures can still vary between regions depending on cloud cover and rainfall.

Sylhet recorded the country’s highest temperature on Tuesday, reaching 36.4 degrees Celsius. The lowest temperature recorded today was also in Sylhet, where the mercury fell to 21.9 degrees Celsius. The two readings underline how daily temperatures can shift between daytime heat and cooler early-morning conditions.

Clouds and rain can affect how warm an area feels during the day. Places receiving showers may see short-lived relief from the heat, while areas that remain dry may continue to experience warmer conditions despite partly cloudy skies. At night, increased cloud cover and moisture may also influence local temperatures.

What the Forecast Means for Daily Plans

People in the divisions expected to receive rain may wish to keep umbrellas or rain protection close at hand, especially when travelling or spending time outdoors. Thunderstorms can arrive suddenly, and temporary gusty winds may make open areas feel more exposed.

Commuters may also need to allow extra time if rainfall becomes intense in their area. Wet roads, reduced visibility and brief periods of strong wind can make routine journeys more difficult. Conditions may improve quickly after a shower, but further rain could follow later in the day or evening.

For those outside the main rain-prone divisions, the forecast points to a generally dry outlook rather than uninterrupted sunshine. Partly cloudy skies may still alter the feel of the day, and local weather can change as cloud formations move across different regions.

Dhaka Sunrise and Sunset Times

In Dhaka, the sun is scheduled to set at 5:47pm today. Tomorrow’s sunrise is expected at 5:50am. These times provide a useful reference for commuters, outdoor workers and anyone planning activities around daylight hours.

The forecast period runs for the next 24 hours from 9am. During that time, attention is likely to remain focused on Chattogram and Sylhet, where rain and thunderstorms are expected at many locations, and on parts of Chattogram where heavier downpours may occur.

Elsewhere, mainly dry weather is anticipated, with temporary partly cloudy skies. A slight drop in day and night temperatures is also expected nationwide, offering a small shift from the recent warmth while rain-bearing conditions remain concentrated in selected divisions.
