Meteorologists in Bangladesh have described the current summer as highly unusual, noting that despite frequent rainfall, the country is experiencing intense humidity. According to weather experts A.K.M. Nazmul Haque and Shahinul Islam, in their 14 years of service they have not seen such a combination of heavy rain and persistent muggy heat during April and May. Although temperatures have not risen sharply, the high moisture in southern winds is causing discomfort across the country.

Data from the Bangladesh Meteorological Department show that the highest temperature this year was 40°C in Rajshahi on April 22, compared with 42°C and 43.7°C recorded in Chuadanga in 2023 and 2024 respectively. On Tuesday, the national maximum temperature dropped to 36.6°C from 38°C the previous day, while rainfall reached 86 millimeters in Rangamati and 16 millimeters in Dhaka. However, Rangpur and Mymensingh divisions saw no rain.

Health experts report an increase in respiratory illnesses among children and the elderly due to fluctuating weather. Forecasts suggest that humidity and irregular rainfall may persist through June and July.
