According to the Met Office, the axis of the monsoon trough extends through Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, the centre of the low-pressure area and Assam, passing across the southern part of Bangladesh.
The monsoon is currently fairly active over Bangladesh and strong over the North Bay, the BMD said.
In its forecast commencing from 9:00am Wednesday, the Met Office said light to moderate rain likely to occur at many places over Rangpur, Rajshahi, Mymensingh & Sylhet divisions and few places over Dhaka, Khulna, Barishal & Chattogram divisions.
Moderately heavy to heavy rainfall is expected at places across the country, according to the forecast.
