Light to moderate rains or thundershowers accompanied by temporary gusty winds and lightning flashes are likely to occur at many places over Rangpur, Khulna, Sylhet, and Mymensingh divisions, according to the weather bulletin. Also, showers are likely to occur at a few places over Chattogram, Barishal, Dhaka, and Rajshahi divisions with moderately heavy to heavy falls at isolated places over the country, it said.
The low-pressure area formed over the west-central Bay and adjoining northwest Bay now lies over the west-central Bay and adjoining Andhra coast said the forecast.
The axis of the monsoon trough runs through Bihar, West Bengal to Assam across central Bangladesh. Monsoon is fairly active over Bangladesh and moderates to strong elsewhere over the North Bay, it said.
During the period, day and night temperature may remain nearly unchanged over the country.
