Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) has predicted rain or thundershowers in Dhaka and seven other divisions as the monsoon is fairly active over the country and moderate over north Bay, reports UNB.

“Light to moderate rain or thundershowers accompanied by temporary gusty wind are likely to occur at many places in Rangpur, Mymensingh and Sylhet divisions; at a few places in Dhaka and Chattogram divisions; and at one or two places in Rajshahi, Khulna and Barishal divisions with moderately heavy to heavy falls at places over the country,” it said.

A mild heatwave is sweeping over Khulna division and the districts of Gopalgonj, Rajshahi, and Pabna, and it may continue.
