A short spell of heavy rain measuring 58 millimeters on Sunday evening submerged large parts of Dhaka, causing severe waterlogging and traffic congestion. The rainfall began around 5 p.m. and continued intermittently into the night, disrupting movement across major roads such as Green Road, New Market, Malibagh, Mirpur, and Karwan Bazar. Commuters faced long delays, while vehicles broke down in flooded streets. The downpour, though initially bringing relief from days of sweltering heat, quickly turned into widespread inconvenience for city dwellers.
According to the Bangladesh Meteorological Department, the rainfall qualifies as heavy precipitation, with the highest recorded in Nilphamari’s Dimla at 87 millimeters. The department attributed the weather to an active southwest monsoon and forecast further heavy to very heavy rainfall in Rangpur, Mymensingh, and Sylhet divisions. Dhaka North and South City Corporations deployed rapid response teams to drain water, with over 5,000 workers engaged in cleanup operations.
Meteorologists noted that the rain helped reduce humidity and temperature, offering temporary relief, though more rainfall is expected in the coming days.
