Bangladesh Meteorological Department predicted rain or thundershowers with temporary gusty wind over the country in the next 24 hours commencing 9:00am today.
Continuous rainfall from noon to 3:00pm yesterday led to temporary waterlogging in several low-lying areas of Chattogram, disrupting movement and daily activities across parts of the port city.
Intermittent showers -- including heavy to very heavy spells -- led to water accumulation in areas such as Katalganj, WASA intersection, GEC circle, Chawkbazar, EPZ, Halishahar, and around Agrabad Commerce College
The low-pressure system over the North Bay and nearby areas moved west-northwest and gradually intensified -- first into a well-marked low, then into a depression
One or two places in Rajshahi and Khulna divisions may also experience rainfall
Rainfall since early morning flooded parts of Dhaka city including low-lying roads in Mirpur, Moghbazar, and Shantinagar
Most parts of Jashore town and its adjacent areas have been waterlogged after relentless rainfall over two consecutive days
