Bangladesh’s weather authorities have forecast at least four more days of heavy to very heavy rainfall across the country, with flood risks in five districts. As of Wednesday evening, eight divisions recorded rainfall, the highest being 105 millimeters in Hatiya, Noakhali. The Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre reported that four rivers—Bhugai Kangsa, Manu, Someshwari, and Mogra—are flowing above danger levels, with flooding already affecting parts of Moulvibazar and Netrokona. The agency warned that Sylhet, Habiganj, and Sunamganj may also experience flooding as river levels continue to rise.
Meteorologists said the rainfall and storms are expected to persist until May 3, with coastal regions in Barishal and Chattogram divisions seeing the heaviest downpours. The Bangladesh Meteorological Department has issued storm and lightning alerts, advising caution for residents and maritime operations. Ferry services on several river routes were temporarily suspended due to the weather.
Authorities have instructed all sea ports to hoist signal number three and advised fishing boats to remain near the coast until further notice, as the Bay of Bengal remains rough under strong winds and dense cloud cover.
