More rain likely in next 3 days

After remaining dormant for the past few days, a fairly active monsoon may hit back in the next three days, with moderately heavy showers in different parts of the country, meteorologists said.

Even light showers, such as the one that interrupted the second day's Test cricket match between Bangladesh and Australia for sometime yesterday (Wednesday), were a localised affair, Ruhul Kuddus, a meteorologist, told The Independent.

A local cell brewed in the sea and struck the stadium. It escaped being recorded by the rain gauge at the met office nearby.

But the rain will be back again, gaining strength from a buoyant trough of a monsoon hanging over the north Bay, from September 9 and 10, with some moderately heavy showers at places, including Dhaka and Chittagong, the meteorologist said.

The rain in six hours between 6am till 12 noon yesterday was scanty.                                                         

Srimangal recorded 12mm, followed by 3mm at Sylhet and 2mm at Nikli in Kishoreganj.

The monsoon is expected to withdraw from the country in early October.

The rainfall was 3.7 per cent more than the average in June, 7.3 in July and 3.5 per cent in August. This saw the country experiencing one of its worst floods since the deluge in 1988.

The met forecast for September said the trend of more than average showers would continue like the previous months.
