Cyclone ‘Motha’, developing in the Bay of Bengal, is expected to cross the coast of Andhra Pradesh, India, between Tuesday evening and night. The Bangladesh Meteorological Department has issued warnings and updated signals for coastal ports including Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar, Mongla, and Payra, lowering distant signal 1 and displaying distant warning signal 2. Fishing boats and trawlers in the northern Bay of Bengal have been advised to navigate cautiously near the coast until further notice. While the cyclone is unlikely to bring strong winds to Bangladesh, light to moderate rainfall is expected across the country for up to five days starting Monday evening. Meteorologists assure that the country will largely remain safe from storm surges and severe wind impacts, though coastal monitoring will continue.

The Department of Meteorology has forecasted that October may witness the formation of one to three low-pressure systems in the Bay of Bengal, with the potential for one to intensify into a depression or cyclone. Normal rainfall is expected across most parts of the country, though temperatures may remain slightly above average. The forecast predicts two to four days of moderate to heavy thunderstorms and three to five days of light to moderate thunderstorms. Rivers are likely to maintain normal flow, but heavy rains could trigger short-term flooding in northern, northeastern, and southeastern hill regions. Daily evaporation is estimated between 2.25 and 4.25 millimeters, with 5 to 7 hours of bright sunshine on average, signaling typical seasonal weather patterns alongside possible extreme events.

A deep low-pressure system over the sea is causing widespread rainfall across Bangladesh, including the capital Dhaka, which has been cloudy with drizzling rain since early morning. The Meteorological Department forecasts intermittent light to moderate rain nationwide for the next 3 to 4 days, with possible thunderstorms and winds up to 60 km/h in nine districts: Dhaka, Faridpur, Khulna, Barishal, Patuakhali, Noakhali, Comilla, Chattogram, and Cox’s Bazar. Reduced traffic in Dhaka due to cloudy skies and the weekly holiday has caused inconvenience for residents.

Shanghai has recorded temperatures above 35°C (95°F) for 25 consecutive days, breaking a 99-year-old record previously set in 1926. From July 22 to August 14, the city experienced continuous heat, highlighting the impact of global climate change on Asia. The excessive heat is causing melting glaciers, sudden storms, and erratic weather patterns. Earlier in July, after many regions exceeded 40°C (104°F), Beijing issued high-heat warnings for 754 provinces, cities, and counties, emphasizing growing climate risks.

Strong winds and intermittent rainfall have lashed Noakhali’s coastal areas since early Thursday, leaving residents in distress and making sea routes risky. The Bangladesh Meteorological Department reported 68mm of rainfall in 24 hours and warned that squally weather may continue due to active monsoon clouds over the Bay of Bengal. Authorities have advised Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar, Mongla, and Payra ports to hoist cautionary signal 3. Fishing boats and trawlers have been urged to stay close to shore and fishermen to remain in safe shelters.

The Meteorological Department has warned of moderate to heavy rainfall in many parts of Bangladesh over the next 24 hours. Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar, Mongla, and Payra sea ports are advised to display Signal No. 3, while river ports in Khulna, Barishal, Patuakhali, Noakhali, Comilla, Chattogram, and Cox’s Bazar should show Signal No. 1. Gusty or squally winds may affect coastal and northern Bay of Bengal areas, with fishing boats urged to navigate cautiously near the coast.

Eight Arab nations in the Middle East, including Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Bahrain, Qatar, and Kuwait, are grappling with an intense heatwave causing temperatures to soar up to 51°C. The extreme heat and high humidity have disrupted daily life and increased wildfire risks in forests and farmlands. Meteorologists link this to climate change and abnormal atmospheric pressure. Authorities urge people to stay hydrated, avoid direct sunlight, and enhance fire safety measures to mitigate health and environmental hazards.

England is facing its driest conditions since 1976, prompting the Environment Agency to declare a nationally significant water crisis. Five regions are in drought, with six more at risk of reduced water supply and crop damage. Reservoirs are below average, and hosepipe bans are in effect in parts of Yorkshire. The government is coordinating with farmers and water suppliers to manage the crisis and plans new reservoirs. Climate change is intensifying extreme weather, worsening droughts and heatwaves.

A new low-pressure system is likely to develop around August 13 over the Bay of Bengal and nearby areas, bringing widespread heavy rainfall and storms across coastal and other regions of Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Meteorological Department forecasts intermittent rain and thunderstorms with gusty winds from August 10 to 13, with moderate to very heavy downpours in parts of northern and northeastern divisions. Temperatures are expected to fluctuate slightly, and rain intensity may increase if the low-pressure system forms.

A powerful rainband named 'Ishan' is approaching Bangladesh, likely to impact 90% of the country with rain between August 4–8. The northern regions, especially Rangpur, Mymensingh, and Sylhet, may face flooding in low-lying areas. The system may bring lightning, gusty winds, and increased landslide risks in hilly areas like Chattogram and Sylhet. While the sea is expected to remain mostly calm, skies will be mostly cloudy. Weather may feel comfortable in northern areas, with humid heat in the south during rain breaks.

The Bangladesh Meteorological Department has forecast heavy to very heavy rainfall in Khulna, Barishal, and Chattogram divisions over the next 24 hours from 4 PM Monday, due to an active southwest monsoon. Rainfall may reach up to 188 mm in some areas. Authorities have warned of possible landslides in hilly regions of Chattogram as a result of the excessive rainfall. Residents in affected areas are advised to stay alert and follow local safety instructions to avoid potential hazards.

The Bangladesh Meteorological Department has predicted continuous heavy rain and thunderstorms across all divisions for the next 10 days. The monsoon trough has extended over northern parts of the country and the Bay of Bengal, triggering widespread rainfall. Areas in Khulna, Barisal, Chattogram, and Sylhet may experience very heavy rainfall. Temperatures may slightly drop, and a current mild heatwave in Rangpur may ease. The weather pattern is expected to persist for at least five additional days beyond the initial forecast.

The Bangladesh Meteorological Department has forecast five days of continuous rain across the country, including Dhaka, due to active monsoon conditions. A low-pressure system may form over the northern Bay of Bengal by July 24, 2025. Moderate to heavy rainfall with gusty winds is likely in several divisions, especially Rangpur, Mymensingh, Sylhet, and Chattogram. Temperatures in Khulna and Barisal may remain stable, while other areas could see a 1–2°C drop in daytime temperatures. Nighttime temperatures may slightly decrease nationwide.

The Bangladesh Meteorological Department has forecast continuous rainfall over the next five days across various regions. Light to moderate rain or thundershowers with gusty winds are expected in Rangpur, Mymensingh, Chattogram, and Sylhet, while parts of Dhaka, Rajshahi, Khulna, and Barishal may also see rain. Isolated areas in the northeastern and southeastern regions may experience heavy rainfall. Day and night temperatures may slightly fluctuate. Rainfall activity is likely to intensify in the coming days, according to the extended forecast.

Monsoon rainfall has sharply declined in Thakurgaon, Dinajpur, and Panchagarh, severely impacting agriculture. Farmers are struggling to plant Aman rice due to dry fields and are incurring extra costs for irrigation. Jute cultivation is also at risk, as soaking requires sufficient water. Meteorological data confirms a significant drop in July rainfall compared to previous years. Experts attribute the irregular pattern to climate change, warning that continued rainfall shortages may threaten crop yields and farmer livelihoods in the region.
