Continuous heavy rainfall over the past three days has severely disrupted daily life across Bangladesh, including the capital Dhaka. The unseasonal downpour ahead of Eid-ul-Azha has caused widespread waterlogging in low-lying areas, halting normal activities and creating severe difficulties for people traveling home for the holidays and for livestock markets preparing for the festival.

According to the Bangladesh Meteorological Department, rainfall in Dhaka reached 57 millimeters on Monday evening, 68 millimeters on Tuesday, and 42 millimeters in the 24 hours ending Wednesday morning. The department forecast that rain and thunderstorms will continue in many regions, including Rangpur, Rajshahi, Dhaka, Mymensingh, Chattogram, and Sylhet divisions. A low-pressure area may also form over the east-central Bay of Bengal within the next five days.

Meteorologist Tariful Newaz Kabir stated that light to moderate rain is expected to persist in Dhaka for the next three days, including on Eid morning, with moderate to heavy rainfall continuing in several divisions.
