Bangladesh Weather Observation Team, a non-governmental meteorological research and monitoring organization, said that a strong rain ring is moving towards the country. The organization informed this information in a Facebook post on Friday (April 24).
This is a strong almost complete rain ring, the agency said. It means that there may be more or less thundershowers in all parts of the country and heavy to very heavy rains in certain places. About 70 to 90 percent areas of the country may experience more or less stormy rain due to this rain ring. This is the 5th rainy season this year.
According to the organization, it is the most active Sylhet division. Very active – Mymensingh, Rangpur, Dhaka division and several areas in northern part of Chittagong division and moderately active – Barisal and Khulna division in many areas. Less active- some areas of Rajshahi Division.It has also been said that the rain ring will remain at the mentioned places from April 26 to May 7. However, on April 25, there may be some thundershowers with scattered thunderstorms at some places including the northern parts of the country. But it will be most active from April 28th to May 2nd and May 4th and 6th. As a result of this, there may be a risk of sudden flood situation in the low-lying areas of Sylhet and Mymensingh divisions.
Furthermore, some low-lying areas of Sylhet, Moulvibazar, Habiganj, Sunamganj, Netrokona, Brahmanbaria and Kishoreganj districts may be temporarily flooded. At this time, due to heavy to very heavy rainfall in the Indian territory upstream of Mymensingh and Sylhet divisions, landslides may occur in the hilly areas bordering Bangladesh in the states of Assam and Meghalaya. Due to this landslide, the water in rivers and Haor of Rangpur, Mymensingh and Sylhet divisions may rise suddenly.
Several places of Sylhet, Sunamganj, Habiganj, Moulvibazar, Netrakona, Mymensingh, Kishoreganj, Brahmanbaria, Kurigram, Lalmonirhat districts may experience continuous rainfall.
