The Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) has forecasted rain in different parts of the country within the next 24 hours, starting from 9 am. According to a Met office bulletin issued this morning, light to moderate rain or thunder showers accompanied by temporary gusty wind is likely to occur at most places over Rangpur, Rajshahi, Mymensingh, Dhaka, Barishal, Chattogram, and Sylhet divisions. Additionally, many places in the Khulna division may also experience rain.
Heavy Rainfall Expected in Several Divisions
The bulletin also warns of moderately heavy to very heavy falls at places over Rangpur, Rajshahi, Mymensingh, Dhaka, Barishal, Chattogram, and Sylhet divisions. This indicates that certain areas may receive significant amounts of rainfall, which could lead to localized flooding and disruptions.
Temperature Outlook
In terms of temperature, the day temperature may fall slightly across the country, providing some relief from the usual summer heat. Meanwhile, the night temperature is expected to remain nearly unchanged.
Recent Rainfall Data
In the last 24 hours, the highest recorded rainfall was 174 millimeters in Ambagan, located under the Chattogram division. This highlights the varying intensity of rainfall across different regions.
Sunrise and Sunset Timings
For those planning their day, the sun is set to rise at 5:20 am and set at 6:49 pm in Dhaka today. These timings can help residents adjust their schedules accordingly.
Why This Matters
The forecast of widespread rain is significant for several reasons. Firstly, it can impact daily commutes and outdoor activities, urging people to plan accordingly. Secondly, heavy rainfall in certain areas may lead to waterlogging and flooding, which can disrupt normal life and cause damage to property. Lastly, the slight drop in day temperature may provide some respite from the summer heat, although the unchanged night temperature suggests that nighttime comfort may remain consistent.
