BMD predicts temperature to rise from Tuesday

The Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) has predicted rainfall in all of the divisions across the country for the next two to three days but with the temperature rising from Tuesday.

Dhaka experienced a shower on Monday morning. However, the sun began to shine as the day rolled on, accompanied by a rise in the temperature.

The weather is likely to remain similar for the next few days but the temperature is expected to rise, the forecast said.

Meteorologist Tariful Newaz Kabir told bdnews24.com, “This is the pre-monsoon season. The weather tends to change frequently. The temperature will rise a little over the next few days. Generally, during this time of the season, a little rainfall keeps the temperature at a tolerable level and then it rises when the rain stops.”
