The Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) has announced a weather forecast predicting light to moderate rainfall, thundershowers, and temporary gusty winds in isolated areas across multiple divisions. This weather shift will bring a slight dip in daytime temperatures across parts of the country, offering a modest reprieve from recent warm conditions.
Regions Affected by the Latest Forecast
According to official meteorological reports, isolated areas within the Rangpur, Rajshahi, Dhaka, Mymensingh, Chattogram, and Sylhet divisions are most likely to experience precipitation. These wet spells will be accompanied by temporary gusty winds, characteristic of the active monsoon patterns still influencing the region.
Outside of the designated rain zones, conditions will remain mostly dry under partly cloudy skies. The prevailing weather system is supported by the monsoon trough axis, which currently extends through Bihar, West Bengal, and southern Bangladesh all the way to Assam.

Daytime temperatures across Bangladesh are projected to drop slightly following the rainfall, while nighttime temperatures will remain largely stable. Recent data collected by the weather office highlights the baseline temperatures recorded over the past 24 hours:
