Amid ongoing heatwaves in various parts of the country, some regions are also experiencing sudden thunderstorms and rainfall. According to the latest 120-hour weather forecast issued Wednesday morning (April 16), scattered thunderstorms with gusty winds and lightning are expected in parts of Mymensingh and Sylhet divisions, and in isolated areas of Rangpur, Rajshahi, Dhaka, Khulna, Barisal, and Chattogram divisions. There is also a chance of isolated hailstorms in some places.

The forecast notes that a trough of low pressure extends over West Bengal and adjoining areas, while the seasonal low lies over the South Bay of Bengal. As a result, similar weather patterns may continue across these divisions, including occasional lightning and rain.
