Bangladesh has a subtropical monsoon climate with annual heavy rainfall. Fortunately, there are six seasons in Bangladesh, including the summer, the rainy season, autumn, late autumn, winter, and spring. Each season lasts approximately two months and has its own beauty and behavior in the environment. In general, the temperature decreases as low as 3°C in the winter and it increases to 40°C during the summer.
