Met office says weather throughout May is going to be topsy-turvy with storm, heat waves, flash floods and tropical cyclone in Bangladesh.
One or two extreme heat waves may hit north and north-western zone while two or three mild heat
waves may sweep through other parts of the country during this month. Bangladesh Meteorological Department Shamsuddin Ahmed narrated the forecast on Wednesday.
Mild heat wave occurs when mercury rises to 36-38 degrees Celsius while medium heat wave is marked with temperature around 40 degrees Celsius.
Severe heat wave is when temperature goes up than 40 degrees Celsius. Water level in rivers will remain stable but flash floods may occur at some places in north, north-east and south-east zones due to downpour and landslides.
