Climate and Weather of Bangladesh
Bangladesh is located in Asia and has a tropical monsoon climate. Bangladesh has two seasons in terms of temperature: the slightly cooler winter (October - March) with maximum temperatures between 22°C and 29°C. During spring, the temperature rises rapidly, after which the monsoon period (June - October) causes a slight dampening of the heat.
Summer and Temperature Variations
In the summer months (March - June), the difference between day and night temperatures is the smallest. The mercury drops to just below thirty degrees at night.
Monsoon and Flooding
The monsoon in Bangladesh clearly impacts the country. The heavy rain during this season causes large parts of Bangladesh to flood between May and October. During this period, more than 500 mm of rain falls locally, and heavy rain showers can last for several hours.
The floods are not only caused by the heavy rain but also by huge amounts of water coming from the Himalayas, which eventually flow into the rivers of Bangladesh. The rainy season ends in October, after which the weather is mostly very stable and sunny.
Best Time to Visit Bangladesh
The best travel time for Bangladesh is from November to February when temperatures are pleasant and there is little to no precipitation.
