An afternoon nor’wester swept the capital city on Friday compounding sufferings for the Eid shoppers.
The Met Office recorded 33.40mm of rainfall between 3.00 pm and 4.30 pm, reports UNB.
The wind speed was recorded at 83km per hour in the capital during the nor'wester.
Although the rain brought relief for the city dwellers from the heat in the morning, those who went out for Eid shopping in the afternoon on this holiday are suffering due to waterlogging on the city roads.
Shahnaz Sultana, a meteorologist at the Bangladesh Meteorological Department, said a huge cloud is coming toward Dhaka.
“When the clouds move away from the sky of the city, there is no chance of rain any further,” she added.
