The Bangladesh Meteorological Department forecast that rainy conditions may persist across the country for the next five days, beginning from 6pm Friday. Rain or thundershowers, accompanied temporarily by gusty winds, are expected in many areas of several divisions and in some areas of the remaining divisions. Rainfall may intensify on Saturday and Sunday, with moderate heavy to very heavy rain possible in isolated locations.

From Friday evening, many places in Rangpur, Mymensingh, Khulna, Chattogram and Sylhet divisions may receive light to moderate rain or thundershowers. Similar conditions are forecast for some places in Rajshahi, Dhaka and Barishal divisions. Day temperatures may rise slightly on Friday while night temperatures may remain nearly unchanged.

The department said the monsoon trough extends through parts of India, central Bangladesh and Assam. The monsoon is fairly active over Bangladesh and moderate over the northern Bay of Bengal. Temperatures may decline slightly nationwide on Sunday and Monday, while they may remain nearly unchanged on Saturday and Tuesday. The extended five-day outlook says the tendency for rainfall may continue.
