Light to moderate rain and thundershowers accompanied by temporary gusty wind is likely to continue to occur at most places over Khulna, Barishal, Chattogram, and Dhaka divisions; at many places over Rajshahi, Mymensingh Sylhet divisions and at one or two places over Rangpur division with moderately heavy falls at isolated places over the country till Tuesday.

Meanwhile, city dwellers woke up to waterlogged roads, after capital Dhaka saw 90mm rain in the last 24hrs till 1:40pm on Tuesday.

Many areas, including Mauchak, Malibagh, Shantinagar, Moghbazar, Mohammadpur, Motijheel, Kazipara, Gandaria, Tikatuli, Bijoy Sarani, and Arambagh went underwater, inflicting sufferings on commuters.

Many of them were seen wading through rainwater.

Besides, the maritime ports of the country have been advised to hoist local cautionary signal number three as cyclonic storm Jawad – after weakening into a deep depression – moved north-northeastwards and now lies over the northwest bay and adjoining west-central bay.
