The weather condition is still unstable and Dhaka residents should be prepared for thunderstorms tonight. Temperatures during the day remain stuck above 30C, setting the stage for evening and overnight storms. The heat and humidity combined make the air feel heavier than normal and that’s often a sign rain is on the way. Parts of the city will experience sudden gusty winds, lightning and short but intense rain.

If you’ve been feeling extra sticky and hot, you’re not alone. Dhaka is currently having warm temperatures with high humidity levels. It is not only a heat amplifier but a thunderstorm trigger as well, this merging of factors. “The normal pattern for seasonal changes is that heat builds up during the day and comes out in storms later,” said weather expert.
