Bangladesh Meteorological Department predicted light to moderate rain or thundershowers in Dhaka and seven other divisions of the country over 24 hours, starting from 9:00am on Thursday.

‘Light to moderate rain/thundershowers accompanied by temporary gusty wind are likely to occur at most places in Rangpur, Mymensingh, Khulna, Barishal, Chattogram and Sylhet divisions; and at many places in Rajshahi and Dhaka divisions with moderately heavy to heavy falls at places over the country,’ said a Met Office bulletin.

Day temperature may fall slightly and night temperature may remain nearly unchanged over the country.

The axis of monsoon trough runs through India’s Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, West Bengal to Assam across the central part of Bangladesh. One of its associated troughs extends up to North Bay.

Monsoon is fairly active over Bangladesh and moderate over North Bay.
