Dhaka, May 31 — There has been an elevated risk of flooding across multiple areas of the nation as water levels have risen in numerous rivers because of intense rain showers.
The Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (FFWC) reports that the Surma, Kushiyara, Manu, Dhalai, Jadukata, and Someswari rivers are rising as a result of moderate to heavy rainfalls observed in the Sylhet and Mymensingh regions.

The low-lying regions in the districts of Sunamganj, Netrokona, and Moulvibazar are at risk of experiencing flash flooding.
Within the Brahmaputra-Jamuna river system, water levels are increasing across several locations, with potential for additional rises over the coming five days.
Nonetheless, water levels stay beneath the threshold for concern in all these regions.
In the Surma-Kushiyara river system, water levels in the rivers are steadily rising because of persistent rain and could continue to increase over the coming forty-eight hours.
However, a decline is expected afterward, and water is likely to remain below danger levels.
In the Rangapur division, the water levels in the Teesta, Dharla, and Dudhkumar rivers have risen as a result of rain that has fallen over the last three days.
As the rivers expand, water levels stay beneath hazardous thresholds.
In the coming 24 hours, the water levels in the rivers of the Chattogram division—including the Halda, Muhuri, Feni, Sangu, and Matamuhuri—are anticipated to stay steady; however, a decline is probable over the subsequent two days.

At the same time, the water levels of the Ganges-Padma rivers are exhibiting a decreasing pattern.
Nonetheless, the scenario might flip since precipitation is predicted to rise over the coming five days.
Nevertheless, water levels are not anticipated to exceed dangerous thresholds.
