<h2>The Rainy Season in Bangladesh </h2>

Cloudy Sky

                                                 

There are six seasons in Bangladesh. The rainy season is one of them. ‘ Asharh and Shravana’ are the months of the rainy season.

But sometimes the season lasts from the middle of June to the middle of September. The south-west monsoon, a periodical wind, that blows over Bangladesh from the Bay of Bengal, brings in the rains. The heat of summer turns a large quantity of the sea water into vapor which mixes with the air above. When the monsoon breaks out in the months of May and June, this rain bearing wind is cooled by contact with the cooler currents of air and the vapor is condensed into cloud and this causes rain.

       During this season the sky often remains clouded. Violent blasts of wind blow. This sun remains hidden behind the clouds and it rains in torrents. Sometimes rain continues for days together. Tanks and pools that dry up in winter and summer are all filled up again. Rivers gradually rise till they overflow their banks. Some places remain under water for the greater part of the season and appear to be vast sheets of water. Everywhere roads are covered with mud. In many villages one has to go about in boats. The landscape appears green. Dry leaves fall from the trees and new ones sprout forth in their place. The rains wash away the filth that accumulates on the surface of the earth and purity the whole atmosphere. They lessen the intense heat of summer and stimulate the growth of vegetation and crops. It is the time for gathering ‘ Aush ‘ crops and planting ‘Aman’ paddy. The joy of the tillers knows no bounds if there is sufficient rain in this season. They merrily proceed towards the fields with their bullocks and p loughs, and till them                          

                                            

  The rainy season undoubtedly does us immerse good. But it brings in some inconveniences too. The country roads get covered with mud and many of them turn impassable. Outdoor games and activities become difficult. Floods in rivers cause serious damage by washing away houses and destroying crops. Boats are the only means of communication in many parts of the country. Men have to sit idle and pass much of their time indoors. Moreover, many diseases such as Malaria, diarrhea and dysentery break out during this season. The rainy is the most important and useful season in our country, because ours is an agricultural country and it depends mainly on rain for agricultural operations. If there is no periodic rain there will be scarcity of food and that will result in famine. So the discomforts and inconveniences of this season sink into insignificance, when they are compared with the immense benefit it confers. This is the most useful season in an agricultural country like ours.
