 Season: Rainy Season or Monsoon Season

 

Bangladesh Forest in July

Entering the rainy season or monsoon season, July is the rainiest month of the year in Bangladesh. In other words, the rainfall increases greatly, reaching a total of 504 mm (1.65 in) monthly rainfall on average, and almost every day of the month has rain. The weather is still sweltering, with an average maximum temperature of 31°C(87.8℉) and a minimum of 26°C(78.8℉). Instead of bringing coolness to Bangladesh, the large rainfall will likely cause floods, coupled with the low terrain, the dense river networks, and the poor drainage system. Overall, July is not a nice time to visit Bangladesh. But there are still attractions worth visiting this month.
