Climate Change Reduces Rainfall in Northern Bangladesh: Agriculture Under Threat in Three Districts

Rainfall levels in Bangladesh typically vary by region, season, and weather conditions, with an annual average of about 2,300 mm. Although the monsoon season usually occurs during the Bengali months of Asharh and Shraban, rainfall continues intermittently until Kartik. However, this year's monsoon has been notably dry in the northern districts of Thakurgaon, Dinajpur, and Panchagarh, leading to growing concern among farmers.
