Spring became more like summer with more rains

Desk report: There have been marked changes in Bangladesh’s rainfall patterns with increasing rains occurring during the spring and less than the usual precipitations occurring in the monsoon months,reports the New Age.
In the parlance of the Met Office, Bangladesh has four and not six seasons.The four seasons include pre-monsoon, monsoon, post-monsoon and winter. This year July, which used to be the wettest month with average rainfall of 523 mm, got 16 per cent less of rainfall in the first 24 days, according to the Met Office. In June, the second wettest month, this year the Met Office recorded 455 mm of rainfall which was four mm less than the normal.
But the scenario changed during the pre-monsoon season, spanning March and May.
