According to the BMD, this weather pattern, affecting Rangpur, Rajshahi, Mymensingh, Dhaka, Khulna, Barishal, Chattogram, and Sylhet divisions, is likely to continue.
The forecast indicates predominantly dry weather conditions with temporary partly cloudy sky across the country. Both the day and night temperatures are anticipated to rise slightly, which may increase discomfort due to higher moisture levels in the air.
