Widespread rainfall continued across Bangladesh on July 7, 2026, as a monsoon low over the Bay of Bengal caused heavy downpours in coastal areas including Chattogram. The Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) reported that the low pressure remained strong, prompting authorities to maintain local cautionary signal number 3 at all maritime ports. Fishermen and trawlers in the northern Bay were advised to stay near the coast and navigate carefully due to rough sea conditions.

According to the latest BMD forecast signed by meteorologist Khondoker Hafizur Rahman, the monsoon depression had weakened into a well-marked low over eastern Madhya Pradesh after moving northwest from Odisha and Jharkhand. However, pressure variations over the northern Bay continued to generate gusty winds. Over the previous 24 hours, Chattogram recorded 283 millimeters of rain, Kutubdia 195, Sandwip 167, Bandarban 128, and Ambagan 177, while Dhaka saw 14 millimeters.

The BMD warned that heavy to very heavy rainfall may persist for 48 hours in Khulna, Barishal, Chattogram, and Sylhet divisions, potentially disrupting daily life and flooding low-lying areas. The department said it is monitoring conditions continuously and will issue updates as needed.
