Rangamati, Sitakunda, Comilla, Chandpur, Noakhali, Feni, Moulvibazar, Pabna and Dhaka and Rajshahi, Khulna and Barisal divisions are experiencing mild to moderate heat waves and may subside in some places.

The Meteorological Department informed this in a 24-hour forecast on Sunday at 9am.

The Meteorological Department forecasted that day and night temperatures across the country may drop slightly in the current time period. In the next 3 days, the tendency of rain/thunder and rain may increase.

Gopalganj recorded 38.2 degrees Celsius, Rangamati 38.6 degrees Celsius, Feni 38.8 degrees Celsius, Jessore 38.6 degrees Celsius, Khulna 38.7 degrees Celsius and Kumarkhali 38 degrees Celsius. 

The temperature recorded in Dhaka was 37.3 degrees Celsius.

The forecast also suggested that some places in Barisal and Chittagong divisions and a couple of places in Khulna, Dhaka and Sylhet divisions may experience temporary gusts or thundershowers. Elsewhere in the country, the weather will be mainly dry with temporary partly cloudy skies.

The light pressure in the East-Central Bay of Bengal and adjoining areas has condensed in the same area and has become a clear light pressure. It can condense into depression and subsequently turn into deep depression and cyclones.

Meteorologists fear that cyclone Yash will hit Khulna and the coasts of West Bengal and Orissa in India on May 26.

A special warning, signed by meteorologist Shahinul Islam of the Meteorological Department, said that the light pressure created in and around the East Central Bay of Bengal has become more concentrated and has become a clear light pressure. If it becomes a more concentrated depression, it can later turn into deeper depression and cyclone. 

Chattagram, Payra, Cox's Bazar and Mongla seaports have been asked to display the number one remote warning signal.
