The Bangladesh Meteorological Department has forecast rain, thunderstorms, and possible hail across the country during the upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr, expected to be observed on Friday or Saturday depending on the moon sighting. Meteorologist Dr. Omar Faruq said that rainfall is likely throughout the next five days, with heavier showers expected on Friday and Saturday. However, he noted that continuous rainfall is unlikely, and precipitation will occur intermittently in different regions.
According to the department’s latest bulletin, an extension of a low-pressure area lies over West Bengal and adjoining regions, while the seasonal low remains over the South Bay of Bengal. This system may cause temporary cloudy skies, rain, and gusty winds of 40–50 km/h in Dhaka and surrounding areas. The forecast also indicates rain and thunderstorms in all eight divisions, with chances of hail in some places.
Meteorologist Dr. Abul Kalam Mallik added that thunderstorm activity may intensify between March 20 and 21. The department advised the public to remain cautious during the storm-prone period.
