More Rains to Lash Bangladesh in 24 Hours

The weather department has predicted more rains across the country in the next 24 hours, with monsoon being fairly active over Bangladesh and moderate elsewhere over the North Bay, reports UNB.

“Light to moderate rains or thundershowers accompanied by temporary gusty winds and lightning flashes are likely to occur at many places over Dhaka, Khulna, Barishal, Chattogram, and Sylhet divisions and a few places over Rajshahi,

Rangpur and Mymensingh divisions with moderately heavy to heavy falls at places over the country,” the department said in its bulletin on Saturday.

Day and night temperatures may fall slightly over the country.

The mercury reached 36.2 degrees Celsius – the highest – in Sylhet, while the minimum temperature was recorded at 22.5 degrees in Feni.

Meanwhile, the axis of the monsoon trough runs through East Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and West Bengal to Assam across the central part of Bangladesh, it added.

One of its associated troughs extends up to the Northwest Bay, as per the bulletin.
