The Bangladesh Meteorological Department has forecast rainfall across the country over the next five days as the monsoon remains active.
Meteorologist Mohammad Shahinul Islam said Dhaka could see showers on Wednesday, with rainfall easing on Thursday before intensifying again over the following two days.
In its 120-hour forecast issued on Wednesday, the weather office said a low-pressure area that had been over India’s Jharkhand and its adjoining areas had moved northwest and was now positioned over northeast Madhya Pradesh and its adjoining areas.
The axis of the monsoon trough extends from Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh through the centre of the low-pressure area, Gangetic West Bengal and southern Bangladesh to Assam.
From 9am on Wednesday, many places in the Rangpur, Mymensingh, Barishal, Chattogram and Sylhet divisions, and some places in the Rajshahi, Dhaka and Khulna divisions, may experience light to moderate rain or thundershowers accompanied by temporary gusty winds.
