| BANGLADESH/Climate Bangladesh is generally warm and humid throughout the year. The temperature varies little from one part of the country to another, though the north may be slightly cooler than the south in winter. Temperatures in Bangladesh average about 28 °C in April, the hottest month in most parts of the country. January, the coldest month in Bangladesh, has an average temperature of 18 °C. Bangladesh receives ample rain. The eastern part of the country has an average annual rainfall of about 250 centimetres and the west has an average of about 165 centimetres. The far northeastern region gets the most rain--as much as 635 centimetres a year. In most years, the rainy season in Bangladesh lasts from mid-March to the end of October. Afternoon thunderstorms occur frequently from mid-March to mid-May. The heaviest rain comes during the monsoon season, from mid-May to October. Many of the monsoon rains cause the rivers to overflow and flood the surrounding countryside. Cyclones often strike Bangladesh at the end of the monsoon season. These violent storms may be accompanied by huge tidal waves that rise from the Bay of Bengal and sweep across the low-lying countryside. Some of the most severe cyclones and tidal waves have destroyed towns and villages and killed thousands of people. Livestock are drowned and crops lost. As a result the homeless people suffer starvation until relief agencies can supply them with food. |
