During this period, more than 500 mm rain falls locally, you can expect heavy rain showers which last for several hours. The floods are not only caused by the heavy rain, but also because of huge amounts of water coming from the Himalayas, eventually arriving in the rivers of Bangladesh. The rainy season ends in October, after which the weather is mostly very stable and sunny.
