Climate and seasons in Rajshahi
Like the rest of Bangladesh, Rajshahi has a tropical monsoon climate. The year is usually described in four broad seasons: a hot pre-monsoon period from March to May, the monsoon from June to October when most of the year's rain falls, a short post-monsoon transition, and a mild, mostly dry winter from December to February.
Before the monsoon arrives, short but violent Kalbaishakhi storms can build up in the afternoon or evening. Cyclone risk from the Bay of Bengal is highest around April–May and again in October–November.
Rajshahi uses UTC+6 (Asia/Dhaka time zone) all year round, with no daylight-saving change. The hourly forecast on this page uses local time in Rajshahi.
Tips for planning your day in Rajshahi
- Look at the hourly view before leaving: rain often arrives in bursts rather than lasting all day.
- When humidity is high, the heat feels stronger than the thermometer suggests. Early morning and late afternoon are usually the most comfortable times to be outside.
- Around midday, check the UV index: at 6 and above, a hat, sunglasses or sunscreen help.
- During storm or flood season, follow official updates from the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) and the Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (FFWC), linked in the report.
