The Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) has issued a weather forecast predicting rains or thundershowers accompanied by temporary gusty or squally wind across eight divisions, including Dhaka, over the next 24 hours. This advisory is attributed to a seasonal low over the South Bay and a trough of westerly low over West Bengal and adjoining areas, prompting cautionary signals at maritime ports.

According to the BMD, the forecast indicates that rain or thundershowers accompanied by temporary gusty or squally wind are likely at many places over Chattogram division, at a few places over Sylhet division, and one or two places over Rangpur, Rajshahi, Dhaka, Mymensingh, Khulna, and Barishal divisions. Additionally, the day temperature may rise by (1-3)°C over Rangpur, Rajshahi, Dhaka, Mymensingh, and Khulna divisions, while night temperature may remain nearly unchanged elsewhere across the country.

This weather advisory underscores the potential for inclement weather conditions in multiple divisions, necessitating caution and preparedness among residents and authorities. The BMD's proactive approach in issuing this forecast serves as a vital tool for public awareness and safety, particularly in regions prone to adverse weather events.
