Rajshahi's Climate
Rajshahi lies on the banks of the Padma River in northwestern Bangladesh, well inland and shaped by a hot tropical monsoon climate. The pre-monsoon months (March–May) are dry and fiercely hot, usually 36–42°C and occasionally above 43°C, making it one of the country's warmest districts. The monsoon (June–September) delivers heavy rain, high humidity and thunderstorms, while winter (December–February) turns cool and dry with morning fog and lows of 9–13°C. A short warming spring bridges the two.
