Heavy monsoon rain has disrupted daily life across Bangladesh, with Dhaka and Chattogram among the worst affected areas. Since early morning, major roads and residential areas such as Kazipara and Shewrapara in the capital have been submerged. In the hilly regions of Chattogram, landslides have occurred, while the port city itself is experiencing widespread waterlogging. According to the Meteorological Department, the highest rainfall in the past 24 hours was 211 millimeters, while Dhaka recorded 28 millimeters.

The department reported that rainfall increased further after 6 a.m. on Friday, causing waterlogging in both main roads and narrow lanes. It attributed the ongoing heavy rain to the influence of the monsoon and forecast that the current spell may continue until Sunday, July 12. Due to rough weather and turbulent seas, maritime ports have been advised to hoist local cautionary signal number 3, and river ports to display signal number 1.

A weather forecast issued Friday morning warned that gusty winds of 45 to 60 kilometers per hour may sweep across 14 regions, including Dhaka, Chattogram, Khulna, and Sylhet.
