Back to mildness after 2 decades between El Niño and La Niña
Bangladesh, known for its six seasons, has traditionally been classified as having a temperate climate—one that lies between the extremes of the tropical and polar zones. The hallmark of this climate is moderate temperatures, with neither severe cold nor intense heat, and regular rainfall. However, for more than two decades, this temperate sensation had all but vanished from Bangladesh. In its place, the country experienced increasingly extreme weather conditions, with harsher winters, scorching summers, and irregular monsoons. Other seasons came and went with little distinction. During summer, parts of the country, especially Rajshahi, would often be swept by hot, desert-like "loo" winds. But this year marks a return of temperate weather to Bangladesh after nearly 20 years, with moderate summer temperatures and rainfall. Climate experts predict a normal monsoon and no severe winter chill ahead.
