Weather department predicts showers across the country in 24 hours

The weather department has predicted showers across the country in 24 hours commencing 9am on Sunday.

“Light to moderate rain or thundershowers accompanied by temporary gusty wind is likely at many places over Rangpur, Rajshahi, Mymensingh, Khulna, Barisal, Chittagong, Dhaka and Sylhet divisions with moderately heavy to heavy falls at places over the country,” said a Met office bulletin.

A mild heat wave is sweeping over the districts of Sylhet, Rajshahi, Rangpur, Dinajpur and Nilphamari and it may abate.

The axis of the monsoon trough runs through Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and West Bengal to Assam across the central part of Bangladesh. One of its associated troughs extends up to Northwest Bay.

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

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