A new rain belt may become active across Bangladesh in the coming days, according to the Bangladesh Weather Observation Team (BWOT). The system is expected to enter the country through the northern region on May 12 or 13.
In a Facebook post on Monday (May 11), BWOT said the rain belt could bring intermittent thunderstorms and rainfall across different parts of the country for up to nine days. Northern and northeastern regions are expected to face a higher risk of severe lightning.
The forecast indicates that the Rangpur, Mymensingh, and Sylhet divisions may be the most affected, with heavier rainfall and increased chances of lightning. Some areas in Rajshahi, Dhaka, and Chattogram divisions may also receive occasional rain, though widespread or long-lasting rainfall is considered less likely there.
BWOT added that the rain belt may remain active from May 12 to May 20, affecting different regions in phases rather than continuously.
Meteorologists have advised people to stay cautious, especially because of lightning risks, as the weather could impact agriculture and daily life during this period.
