The capital city of Dhaka and its surrounding districts are expected to experience continued high humidity and warm weather on Saturday, 30 May 2026. According to the short-range regional bulletin issued by the Storm Warning Centre of the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) at 7:00 am, the capital’s sky will remain temporarily partly cloudy, whilst the overall weather is projected to stay predominantly dry until midday.
Although daytime temperatures are forecast to decrease slightly compared to the previous day’s peak, the high levels of atmospheric moisture will maintain muggy conditions across the capital. This marginal reduction in temperature is expected to offer only minor respite to metropolitan residents navigating the sustained thermal discomfort.
The Meteorological Department’s early morning observations tracked specific atmospheric baselines for the capital. At 6:00 am on Saturday, the ambient temperature in Dhaka was recorded at $24.0^\circ\text{C}$, accompanied by a high relative humidity level of 89%. The minimum temperature for the morning registered at $23.8^\circ\text{C}$, following a maximum temperature of $35.4^\circ\text{C}$ recorded on Friday, 29 May 2026.
Surface wind vectors over the capital during the morning and early afternoon hours are projected to blow from the south and south-east. These localized air currents will maintain velocities ranging between 10 and 15 kilometres per hour. Trace amounts of precipitation were officially logged in Dhaka over the preceding 24-hour cycle. Solar telemetry for the tracking period indicates that sunset on Saturday will occur at 6:41 pm, with the subsequent sunrise on Sunday, 31 May 2026, calculated for 5:11 am.
The verified meteorological parameters, technical readings, and spatial forecasts for Dhaka and the broader national territory are structured in the table below:
| Meteorological Parameter | Recorded Values & Spatial Forecasts | Data Logging Source / Authority |
| Friday Maximum Temperature | $35.4^\circ\text{C}$ (Recorded in Capital) | Bangladesh Meteorological Department |
| Saturday Morning Reading | $24.0^\circ\text{C}$ (Logged at 6:00 am) | BMD Storm Warning Centre |
| Saturday Minimum Reading | $23.8^\circ\text{C}$ (Core Daily Baseline) | BMD Archive Log |
| Relative Atmospheric Humidity | 89% (Recorded at 6:00 am) | Capital Observatory Station |
| Localized Wind Velocity | 10–15 km/h (South / South-Eastern vector) | Six-Hour Regional Bulletin |
| Preceding 24-Hour Rainfall | Nominal / Trace precipitation recorded | Dhaka Rainfall Register |
| National Precipitation Scope | Light-to-moderate rain / thundershowers | 24-Hour Synoptic Chart |
| Heavier Regional Rainfall | Isolated moderately heavy falls expected | National Forecast Directory |
| Solar Transitions (Dhaka) | Sunset: 6:41 pm (Sat) / Sunrise: 5:11 am (Sun) | Astronomical Telemetry Log |
Beyond the immediate micro-climate of the capital, the Meteorological Department’s macro-scale national outlook—published on Friday evening—indicates unstable atmospheric conditions developing across the country’s broader administrative divisions. Prior to 6:00 pm on Saturday, scattered sectors within the divisions of Rangpur, Rajshahi, Dhaka, Mymensingh, Khulna, Barisal, Chittagong, and Sylhet are projected to experience light-to-moderate rain or thundershowers.
These localized convective systems are forecast to be accompanied by temporary gusty or squally winds and frequent electrical activity. Furthermore, the synoptic update warned that isolated geographical pockets across the country could experience moderately heavy falls during this tracking window.
While these regional rain systems will cause night-time temperatures to drop slightly across the country, overall daytime temperatures across the country’s main internal divisions are expected to remain mostly unchanged from the previous day’s baselines.
