The Bangladesh Meteorological Department has forecast that rainfall across the country will increase from June 5 as the southwest monsoon advances toward the Teknaf coast. Currently, the country is experiencing reduced rainfall and rising heat, with temperatures expected to climb further on Sunday. On Saturday evening, Rangamati recorded the highest temperature at 37 degrees Celsius, while Dhaka saw less than one millimeter of rain.

Meteorologist Shahinul Islam stated that although rainfall has decreased, scattered showers will continue across the country. Moderate to heavy rain is likely in parts of Sylhet and Chattogram divisions. The extended five-day weather outlook suggests that the southwest monsoon’s progression will bring more widespread rainfall.

Meanwhile, Khulna’s Koyra recorded 36 degrees Celsius, and Dhaka reached 35.2 degrees Celsius. The forecast indicates that temperatures may rise further before the expected increase in rainfall next week.
