The water level in five rivers of Bangladesh remains above the danger mark, although the flood situation has improved slightly since Thursday. The number of rivers flowing above the danger mark has fallen from six to five.
However, the Flood Forecasting and Warning Center (FFWC) says the flood scenario in the coming days will largely depend on the rainfall pattern.
This information was released in the bulletin of FFWC based on comments recorded at 9:00 am on Friday.
Meanwhile, local caution sign no. 3 has been advised for the ports of Chattogram, Mongla, Payra and Cox’s Bazar.
Speaking to Prothom Alo, FFWC Executive Engineer Sardar Uday Raihan said the situation had improved somewhat compared to the previous day. However, future flooding will depend on how much rain falls in the northeastern and southeastern regions of the country, as well as in the upper reaches of the river.
