Dhaka
woke up to a rainy and pleasant morning on Saturday, thanks to a nor'wester
that lashed the metropolis.
The
weather department recorded 42mm of rainfall in the past 24 hours till 6am.
"Showers
are likely occur in Dhaka, Rangpur and Bogra districts in the next 24 hours,”
said Monowar Hossain, a meteorologist at Bangladesh Meteorological Department.
Though
the showers brought the much-needed reprieve to the residents from the sizzling
summer heat, they brought back the obvious miseries -- rush-hour traffic
snarls.
The
worst affected were the office-goers and school-going children as traffic
crawled in several busy stretches of the densely populated metropolis due to
the rains.
“Rain
or thundershowers with intense lightning flashes and temporary gusty or squally
wind is likely to occur at many places over Rangpur, Rajshahi, Dhaka,
Mymensingh, and Sylhet divisions,” according to a Met Office bulletin on Friday
morning.
Chittagong,
Khulna, and Barisal divisions may experience moderately heavy to heavy
rainfall, the release added.
The highest temperature on Friday was recorded at 37.6°C in Khulna's Jessore, while the minimum temperature was 20.8°C in Rangpur's Rajarhat._UNB
