Rainfall is expected to continue across Bangladesh for the next one to two days, with heavier showers in the southern districts, according to the Bangladesh Meteorological Department.

BMD Senior Meteorologist Bazlur Rashid said the country will see widespread rainfall as a well-marked depression over the west-central Bay of Bengal and adjoining areas moves northwestwards, gradually intensifying into a deep depression.

The five-day forecast, issued at 9:00am yesterday, said most areas of Rangpur, Rajshahi, Mymensingh, Dhaka, Khulna, Barishal, Chattogram, and Sylhet divisions are likely to experience light to moderate rain or thundershowers accompanied by temporary gusty winds. Heavy to very heavy rainfall may occur in some places.

Similar conditions are expected in most parts of the eight divisions today. Rainfall is expected to decrease from October 7.
