Vapsa has been hot in the capital for at least four days. It is hot almost everywhere in the country. A little cloud was seen in the sky of the capital on Friday. The Meteorological Office has talked about the possibility of rain.

The forecast for Dhaka and surrounding areas for the next six hours from 7 am today says that the sky may remain partly to temporarily cloudy. At this time there may be rain or thunder.

This forecast is not only for the capital, but also for the surrounding areas. Capital residents hope for rain in the heat of summer. But will the desired rain in the capital?

Meteorologist AKM Nazmul Haque told Prothom Alo around nine o’clock this morning that there are clouds in the capital. This cloud can increase Vapsa heat. This cloud is at low level. It usually does not rain here. So there is less chance of rain in the capital.

The heat wave started in the capital last Wednesday. This is the first heat wave seen in the capital this month. On that day, the maximum temperature of the city was 36.2 degrees Celsius. However, yesterday Thursday the temperature dropped by 2 degrees, the temperature was 34 degrees Celsius. Even though the temperature has dropped by 2 degrees, the Vapsa heat has not decreased.
