While some parts may see brief rain or thundershowers, most areas are expected to remain dry under continued heat wave conditions.
A trough of low pressure extending from West Bengal to the North Bay through southwestern Bangladesh is currently influencing weather patterns.
Rain or thundershowers, accompanied by lightning and temporary gusty winds, are likely at one or two spots in the Mymensingh, Chattogram, and Sylhet divisions. The rest of the country will likely experience mainly dry weather, with intermittent cloud cover.
The highest rainfall recorded over the last 24 hours was 50 mm.
A mild to moderate heat wave remains in effect across Rajshahi and Khulna divisions, along with the districts of Manikganj, Tangail, Faridpur, Gopalganj, Dinajpur, and Nilphamari, and is expected to persist.
Day and night temperatures are likely to remain largely unchanged nationwide.
On Wednesday, the highest temperature in the country was recorded at 39.8°C in Jashore, Khulna.
The sun will set today at 6:24 pm and rise tomorrow at 5:29 am in the capital.
