The weather in most of Bangladesh will stay hot and dry as Eid approaches, but this time there is an important twist: Kalboishakhi (nor’wester) storm activity may happen in some areas.
Recent reports say that there is a chance of thunderstorms and strong winds around Eid, especially in northern and eastern Bangladesh.
