Continuous heavy rainfall has gripped Bangladesh for five consecutive days, paralyzing daily life across the country. Despite the departure of a low-pressure system from the Bay of Bengal, active monsoon winds have kept the skies overcast and rain unceasing. The Bangladesh Meteorological Department reported 15 millimeters of rain in Dhaka between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. Friday, with 28 millimeters recorded in the previous 24 hours. The agency warned that heavy rainfall is likely to continue through Saturday and Sunday, with improvement expected after July 12.
Senior meteorologist Bazlur Rahman attributed the prolonged downpour to the global El Niño effect, noting that while June saw 30 percent less rainfall, July has brought excessive precipitation in a short time. He described the current rainfall as abnormal for the monsoon season, with unusually high intensity. The weather office also issued heavy rainfall alerts for all eight divisions, maintaining maritime warning signals.
Chattogram recorded the highest rainfall at 211 millimeters, followed by Teknaf, Satkhira, and Gopalganj. The persistent rain has caused waterlogging in Dhaka and worsened flood and landslide conditions in Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar, and Sylhet.
