A gentle increase in daytime temperatures and a marginal decline in night-time readings are expected across the country over the next twenty-four hours, according to the latest bulletin issued by the national meteorological authority on Tuesday morning. The forecast also signals the possibility of light rain accompanied by thunder in several regions, including the capital and three other administrative divisions.
Forecasters indicate that maximum temperatures may edge upwards slightly during the day, while minimum temperatures are likely to dip modestly at night. Such a pattern typically emerges during transitional seasonal phases, when dry continental air interacts with limited pockets of atmospheric instability. The result is a noticeable contrast between warmer afternoons and comparatively cooler early mornings.
Isolated light showers, with the chance of thunder, are anticipated at one or two locations within the divisions of Dhaka, Barishal, Chattogram, and Sylhet. In the remainder of the country, weather conditions are expected to remain largely dry, accompanied by partly cloudy skies. Meteorologists emphasise that the rainfall, where it occurs, is unlikely to be widespread or prolonged.
The prevailing weather pattern is being shaped by an extended trough of low pressure situated over West Bengal and neighbouring areas. Simultaneously, the seasonal low persists over the South Bay of Bengal, extending towards the north-eastern sector of the Bay. The interaction between these systems is fostering cloud development and sporadic convective activity, particularly in eastern and central districts.
Temperature data recorded at 6:00 a.m. provide insight into the regional contrasts. Rajshahi registered the lowest minimum temperature at 14.5 degrees Celsius, reflecting relatively cool dawn conditions in the north-west. By contrast, Patuakhali recorded the highest maximum temperature at 33.4 degrees Celsius, underscoring the warmer climate prevailing along the southern coastal belt.
The principal temperature observations are outlined below:
| Location | Temperature Type | Recorded Value (°C) |
|---|---|---|
| Rajshahi | Minimum | 14.5 |
| Patuakhali | Maximum | 33.4 |
The slight rise in daytime temperatures may lead to mild discomfort during mid-afternoon hours, especially in densely built urban areas where heat retention is more pronounced. Conversely, the anticipated fall in night-time temperatures should offer a degree of relief, particularly in northern and western districts.
Experts note that these fluctuations are consistent with the current time of year, when synoptic-scale systems over the Bay of Bengal often exert limited but noticeable influence. Agricultural communities are advised to remain attentive to short-term updates, particularly where brief thunderstorms could affect fieldwork or irrigation schedules.
Meteorologists will continue to monitor the behaviour of the low-pressure systems in the coming days. Any intensification or shift in their position could alter rainfall distribution and temperature trends. For now, however, the outlook remains one of broadly stable conditions: slightly warmer days, cooler nights, and isolated showers rather than widespread precipitation.
