Seasons of Bangladesh

The climate of Bangladesh is moderately

warm, humid and equable. The influence
of the monsoon in this region is so high
that this climate is known as tropical
monsoon climate as a whole.

Summer
Summer is the warmest of the four
temperate seasons, falling between
spring and autumn.
The summer is the first season in Bengali
calendar. Baishakh and Jaistha make the
summer season. During summer, the sun
shines hotly. The heat is unbearable.
Extreme heat makes everything lifeless
and the temperature remains upto 38c
to 21c.

rivers, ponds, canals and pools dry up.
People sweat and get thirst and triad out
of extremes heat.

specially treated as fruit festival season
in Bangladesh when almost all the major

available.

flowers. Mangoes, Jackfruits, blackberries, litchis, melons and many other
juicy-fruits grow in this season. Various
kinds of flowers also blossom in this time.
And various kids of another fruits ripen.

Summer (Contd)
Baishakh is notorious for the afternoon
storms called Kalboishakhi (Norwester).
The storms usually start with strong gusts
from the north-western direction at the
end of a hot day and cause widespread
destruction. It costs a lot for the people of
our country. Crops are destroyed and
sometimes lives are lost and
infrastructures are harmed severely. It is
one of the most harmful thing about
summer.

Summer (Contd)

Though it gets much unbearable for

people but it still is a beauty of nature. It
is one of the very precious gifts of the
environment of Bangladesh

Rainy
Rainy season comprises the Bengali months
of Ashar and Sravan. After a long spell of hot
weather the rainy season comes with her
showers to cool the earth. This season is of
paramount importance in an agricultural
country like Bangladesh. It influences on our
life and culture to a great extent.
Excessive heat is observed but a heavy
rainfalls takes place which results in
increasing temp. (27) not so high.

Rainy (Contd)
The sky and sun remains overcast with
clouds. It ofter rains for days together.
Sometimes it drizzles and sometimes it rains
cats and dogs.
An average rainfall is 119cm to 340cm.
Thunders roar and lighting flashes. Rivers
become full the brim and overflow their
banks. Roads are covered with mud. The
earth gets wet and swampy. Nature assumes
a new look during the rainy season.

Rainy (Contd)
The rainy season undoubtedly does us
immense good. The nature assumes a
new appearance at the advent of rainy
season. The landscape appears green.
The rain water washes away the filth and
purifies the surface of the earth. It
lessens the intense heat of summer and
simulates the growing of vegetation and
crops.

Rainy (Contd)
It has disadvantages too. During this
season the roads at the country side
become muddy and slippery and as such
we cannot go from one place to another
on foot easily. Sometimes heavy rainfall
overflows the banks on the rivers and
causes floods.

Winter Contd
Winter is also a season of sorrow for the
poor who have nothing to tackle the
severe cold. They suffer much for want of
warm clothes and shiver in cold. They
have no other option but to bask in the
sun. Sometimes, they make fire with
straws, dry leaves etc, in order to keep
themselves warm.

Winter Contd

Although winter is cold, its mild weather

is truly enjoyable in Bangladesh. It
awards us with lots of fresh vegetables
and fruits. After all, It is one of the
loveliest of the seasons for its fame for
relaxing and travelling and it is the the
advent of spring.

Spring
It is the best, the loveliest and the most
charming of all seasons.
In the cycle of seasons the spring
occupies an remarkable position. It is rich
in color, beauty, music and fragrance.
It removes the dullness of winter.

Spring (Contd)
The scorching sun, hot days and sweating
nights make life especially disagreeable
in summer. The damp and humidity of the
rainy season add greatly to our
discomfort. Spring has none of the hassle
of these seasons.

Spring (Contd)
With the advent of spring, Nature puts on
a happy and lively appearance. Every
object of Nature becomes fresh. Trees put
forth new leaves. Flowers bloom in
thousands. The fine display of colors they
present is especially fascinating. Flowers
attract bees and butterflies present no
less charming a sight.

Spring (Contd)

It does not oppress our mind with any

lingering monotony. This shortness of its
duration is, perhaps, one of the reasons
why people like it best.

These seasons come one after another

in a regular cycle. Each season has
its own beauty and features. Each of
them appears with it's color, sights
and sounds.
