Heavy rain and stormy weather have affected Bangladesh since early morning on April 29, 2026, with continuous rainfall in Dhaka and coastal districts in the south. The Meteorological Department has issued warnings for heavy to very heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and possible landslides in hilly areas. Maritime ports have been advised to hoist signal number three, while river ports have been placed under signal number one. Ferry and launch services on the Paturia-Daulatdia and Aricha-Kazirhat routes were suspended from 6 a.m. due to strong winds and heavy rain.
Meteorologists Dr. Omar Faruk and Dr. Bazlur Rashid described the situation as disastrous, urging public caution against lightning strikes. Rainfall data show Bhola recorded the highest at 152 millimeters, followed by Feni, Srimangal, and Comilla. The weather office forecasts continued rain until May 3, with the possibility of temporary waterlogging and landslides in Chattogram. The Bay of Bengal remains rough due to pressure differences, prompting warnings for fishing boats to stay near the coast.
Temperatures are expected to drop further nationwide as the low-pressure system persists, ending the recent heatwave that had gripped several regions.
