Today there is a possibility of rain in some places of Chittagong, Mymensingh, Sylhet and Barisal divisions. But it won’t be heavy rain. The rest of the divisions may receive rain at one or two places. Overall, the rain has reduced a lot. This is likely to improve the flood situation.

At least half a million people were affected by the flood. Flood water has started receding from some places.
