⚠ Kalboishakhi nor'wester storms strike with minimal warning in April, producing wind gusts of 60 to 100 km/h (37 to 62 mph), heavy rain, and occasional hail. These are not light showers. They can topple trees, flood streets within minutes, and make open-air transport dangerous. Monitor darkening skies in the northwest quadrant each afternoon. Seek solid shelter immediately.
⚠ Heat index regularly exceeds 40°C (104°F) during midday hours. Heatstroke risk is elevated for travelers unaccustomed to tropical humidity. Limit direct sun exposure between 11 AM and 3 PM. Carry oral rehydration salts. Drink water continuously. Do not wait until you feel thirsty.
⚠ Early pre-monsoon flooding affects low-lying areas in southern Bangladesh, around the Sundarbans periphery and parts of Sylhet Division. River levels can rise rapidly after sustained Kalboishakhi activity. Confirm current water conditions with boat operators before committing to multi-day Sundarbans launches in late April. Conditions change fast.
