Dhaka: Drizzle throughout the morning due to the influence of a deep depression in the Bay of Bengal caused sufferings to commuters in capital Dhaka on Saturday.

According to officials at the Met Office, the rain will continue till Sunday.

Besides, it recorded 9 mm of rain in the capital in the last 6 hours till 12pm on Saturday.

The met office said rain or thundershowers accompanied by temporary gusty or squally wind is likely to occur at many places over Khulna, Barisal, Chittagong, Dhaka, Mymensingh, Rajshahi, Rangpur and Sylhet divisions.

“Day and night temperature may fall slightly over the country,” the met office said.

Besides, the maritime ports of Chittagong, Cox’s Bazar, Mongla and Payra have been advised to hoist local cautionary signal No 3 as trough of low lies over the North Bay, and adjoining Southern part of Bangladesh, and West Bengal and adjoining area, said a Met office warning message.
