Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) said storms may hit eleven regions of the country, including Dhaka, by noon and daytime temperature might increase slightly.
In its six-hour weather forecast starting at 7 am on Saturday, BMD added that the sky over Dhaka might remain partly cloudy to temporarily cloudy and may experience temporary rain or thundershowers. Winds will blow from the south or southeast at 10-15 kilometers per hour, while daytime temperatures may rise slightly.
At 6 am, the temperature in Dhaka was 27 degrees Celsius, with a relative humidity of 97 percent. The minimum temperature is 26.8 degrees Celsius. Over the past 24 hours, Dhaka experienced 20 millimeters of rain.
Meanwhile, the inland river port forecast, valid from 5 am to 1 pm, warned that temporary gusty or squally winds accompanied by rain or thundershowers could blow over the regions of Mymensingh, Dhaka, Faridpur, Khulna, Barisal, Patuakhali, Cumilla, Noakhali, Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar, and Sylhet.
These winds are expected to blow from the south or southeast at 45-60 kilometers per hour, prompting the weather office to ask the river ports in these regions to hoist cautionary signal number 1.
