“Light to moderate rain or thunder showers accompanied by temporary gusty winds is likely to occur at many places over Rangpur, Mymensingh and Sylhet divisions, and at a few places over Rajshahi, Dhaka, Khulna, Barishal and Chattogram divisions with moderately heavy to heavy falls at places over the country,” it said.
A mild heat wave is sweeping through the districts of Jashore, Kushtia and Satkhira, and it may continue, the department said in its weather bulletin.
Day and night temperatures may remain nearly unchanged over the country.
The axis of monsoon trough runs through Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal to Assam across central parts of Bangladesh.
One of its associated troughs extends up to the Northwest Bay. Monsoon is fairly active over Bangladesh and weak elsewhere over the North Bay.
