Storm Alert: 60 kmph Winds Predicted for Three Districts by Noon
In a bulletin signed by meteorologist Md. Tariful Newaz Kabir on Monday, March 9, 2026, authorities warned that Chattogram, Mymensingh, and Sylhet are likely to experience thunderstorms and rain accompanied by these high-speed winds from the West or North-West. Consequently, all river ports within these specific regions have been advised to hoist Inland Riverine Warning Signal No. 1 until 1:00 PM today.
Beyond the immediate noon alert, the broader weather outlook for the day suggests that rain or thundershowers may occur in isolated parts of all divisions across the country until 6:00 PM. In the capital, Dhaka, the sky is expected to remain partly cloudy to temporary cloudy, with surface winds blowing at 6 to 12 kmph, which could surge to 30–40 kmph during brief squalls. The humidity in Dhaka was recorded at 85% this morning, with a minimum temperature of 24.2°C, indicating a muggy lead-up to the predicted rainfall.
This shift in weather patterns is expected to persist for the next few days, providing a slight break from the rising pre-summer temperatures but necessitating caution for small vessels and commuters using inland waterways. Residents in the alert zones are advised to remain vigilant during lightning activity and stay updated through official meteorological channels as the atmospheric instability continues.
