Monday, September 21, 2009 DHAKA: The Met Office recorded 39mm of rainfall in Dhaka between 8am and midday Monday, as thousands braved thunderstorms to attend Eid-ul-Fitr congregations. Met official Md Abdul Mannan said that parts of the country were experiencing rainfall as a monsoon front blew in overnight from the northern Bay of Bengal. Dhaka, and surrounding districts, along with the northern region, saw the worst of the thunder and showers from morning. The rain is likely to recede over Dhaka and the north in the afternoon, Mannan said. But, he said, the western region will experience downpours later as the monsoon was moving in a westerly direction.
