A mild heatwave is currently sweeping across eight districts—Tangail, Rajshahi, Pabna, Sirajganj, Nilphamari, Jashore, Chuadanga, and Kushtia—and may persist, according to a Sunday bulletin from the Bangladesh Meteorological Department. The agency reported that an extension of a low-pressure area stretches from Gangetic West Bengal to the northwest Bay of Bengal, while the monsoon remains moderately active over Bangladesh and weak to moderate elsewhere in the northern Bay.

The department also forecast that from Sunday to Thursday, many areas in Rangpur, Rajshahi, Mymensingh, Dhaka, Barishal, Chattogram, and Sylhet divisions, along with parts of Khulna division, may experience temporary gusty winds and light to moderate rain or thundershowers. Some places could see moderately heavy to heavy rainfall during this period.

The forecast suggests that such weather conditions are likely to persist across the seven divisions for the next five days, indicating a mix of heat and intermittent rainfall across much of the country.
