A low pressure developed over southwest Bay and adjoining West central Bay is likely to intensify further and form a cyclone on Saturday (May 24). It will be named Remal. 

Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) said this at a weather bulletin on Thursday (May 23).

According to Met office, rain or thundershower in Chattogram and Sylhet divisions within 24 hours, starting from 9 am today.

“Rain or thundershower accompanied by temporary gusty or squally wind is likely to occur at one or two places over Chattogram and Sylhet divisions and weather may remain mainly dry with temporary partly cloudy sky elsewhere over the country,” said the Met office bulletin.

Meanwhile, a mild heatwave is sweeping over the districts of Madaripur, Gopalganj, Sylhet, Chattogram, Rangamati, Chandpur, Noakhali, Feni, Bandarban, Khulna, Satkhira, Chuadanga, and Bhola and it may continue.

Day and night temperatures may rise slightly over the country. Due to the increase in moisture incursion, the discomfort may increase.
