Light to moderate rain or thundershowers accompanied by temporary gusty wind are likely to occur at most places in Rangpur, Mymensingh, Khulna and Sylhet divisions, and at many places in Rajshahi, Dhaka, Barisal and Chittagong divisions, with moderately heavy to heavy falls at places over the country, the met office said.

Day temperature may rise slightly and night temperature may remain nearly unchanged.

Monsoon is fairly active over Bangladesh and moderate to strong over North Bay.
