Heavy rain brought relief from more than a month of intense heat in Cox’s Bazar on Monday, while also disrupting normal movement in the city.
The sky turned dark with clouds around noon before heavy rain began at about 1:30pm. The rain continued beyond 3:00pm.
After weeks of scorching weather, the sudden downpour brought some relief to residents, although commuters struggled on the roads amid the persistent rain.
“After such prolonged heat, it had become difficult to stay outside. The rain has brought some relief, although travelling has become difficult,” resident Ariful Islam said.
Another resident, Sezan Ahmed, said heavy rain in November was unusual.
“The rain has reduced the heat, but it has also caused some problems for movement and daily activities,” he said.
Residents are now watching whether the rainfall will bring a noticeable change in temperature and signal an early arrival of winter in Cox’s Bazar.
