A low-pressure area is likely to form over North Bay on July 24, according to Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) on Sunday morning. Meanwhile, the depression over northwest Rajasthan and adjoining areas weakened and merged with the monsoon axis, reports UNB.

The axis of monsoon troughs runs through Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal to Assam across the Northern part of Bangladesh. One of its associated troughs extends up to the North Bay, according to the BMD.

Monsoon is fairly active over Bangladesh and moderate over the North Bay. Moreover, the met office has forecast light to moderate rain in all divisions, including Dhaka of the country in 24 hours commencing 9am on Sunday. “Light to moderate rain or thunder showers accompanied by temporary gusty wind is likely to occur at most places over Rangpur, Mymensingh and Sylhet divisions; at many places over Rajshahi, Dhaka and Chattogram divisions and at a few places over Khulna and Barishal divisions with moderately heavy to heavy falls at places over Rangpur, Mymensingh, Chattogram and Sylhet divisions,” said a met office update.

Day temperature may remain nearly unchanged over Khulna & Barishal divisions and it may fall by (1-2)°C elsewhere over the country.
