Cyclone ‘Arnab’ also impacts Bangladesh; thundershowers forecast for Dhaka and all other divisions.

Bangla Press Desk: The very severe cyclonic storm 'Arnab' has crossed the Andhra coast in India and is currently situated over Andhra Pradesh and its adjacent areas. The cyclone is expected to move further in a north-westerly direction and gradually weaken. Although it made landfall in Andhra Pradesh, India, its impact will also be felt in Bangladesh. Over the next five days, the cyclone is likely to bring rain or thundershowers, accompanied by gusty winds, across all divisions of Bangladesh, including Dhaka.

The Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) provided this information in a notification issued on Wednesday (October 28).

According to the notification, rain or thundershowers, accompanied by temporary gusty winds, are expected in many places across the Rajshahi, Rangpur, Dhaka, Mymensingh, Khulna, Barishal, Chattogram, and Sylhet divisions over the next five days. Furthermore, the mild heatwave currently affecting the Dhaka, Khulna, Mymensingh, and Sylhet divisions—as well as the districts of Pabna, Sirajganj, Cumilla, Chandpur, Feni, Lakshmipur, Bhola, and Barishal—is likely to subside. Daytime and nighttime temperatures across the country may also see a slight decrease.

Specifically, for the 24-hour period starting from 9:00 AM on Thursday (October 29), rain or thundershowers with gusty winds are expected in some areas of the Rajshahi, Rangpur, and Khulna divisions, and in a few places across the Dhaka, Mymensingh, Barishal, Chattogram, and Sylhet divisions. Daytime and nighttime temperatures nationwide may decrease slightly.
For the 24-hour period starting from 9:00 AM on Friday (October 30), rain or thundershowers with gusty winds are likely in many places across the Rajshahi, Rangpur, and Khulna divisions, and in a few places across the Dhaka, Mymensingh, Barishal, Chattogram, and Sylhet divisions. Daytime and nighttime temperatures across the country are expected to remain largely unchanged.

For the 24-hour period starting from 9:00 AM on Saturday (October 31), rain or thundershowers with gusty winds may occur in some areas of the Rangpur and Rajshahi divisions, and in a few places across the Mymensingh, Khulna, and Sylhet divisions. In other parts of the country, the weather is expected to remain mainly dry with partly cloudy skies. Daytime and nighttime temperatures across the country are likely to remain nearly unchanged. Over the 24-hour period starting from 9:00 AM on Sunday (November 1), rain or thundershowers accompanied by temporary gusty winds may occur in one or two places within the Khulna division. Meanwhile, the weather in other parts of the country is expected to remain mainly dry with partly cloudy skies, and temperatures—both during the day and at night—are likely to remain largely unchanged across the country.
Additionally, the Bangladesh Meteorological Department has indicated that temperatures across the country may decrease after the next five days.
