November rain has unexpectedly returned to Cox’s Bazar, offering relief from the prolonged heat but also inconveniencing unprepared residents.
Heavy rain began around noon on Monday and continued intermittently through Tuesday morning. The sun did not appear until 11 am on Tuesday, and the sky remained cloudy. Rain also fell in the early hours of the morning.
Abdul Hannan, assistant meteorologist at the Cox’s Bazar Meteorological Office, said the sky may remain partly to mostly cloudy until Thursday, with occasional drizzle and light to moderate rain.
He said temperatures could gradually fall afterwards, with a wintry feel likely to begin in Cox’s Bazar towards the end of the month.
The sudden November rain has brought some relief from the heat while also signalling the approaching winter, making Cox’s Bazar skies appear unusually gloomy.
