EnvironmentOn 18 July 2026 the Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre warned that heavy rain could bring short-term floods within 24 to 72 hours to low-lying riverside areas of five Rangpur division districts and of Sylhet and Sunamganj.
Instalments and interest on NGO loans taken by small women entrepreneurs hit by the Bandarban floods have been waived for one month, State Minister Mir Helal Uddin said.
CropsContinuous rain in July 2026 flooded 417 hectares of vegetables, jute and Aman seedbeds in Bogura, affecting 4,961 farmers, while most vegetable prices in the town's markets rose within a week.
The government will pay Tk 25,000 for each cow and Tk 10,000 for each goat or sheep that died in the floods, the disaster management minister announced in Chattogram.
Low-lying riverside areas of nine districts in Bangladesh's north-east and north may see short-term flooding or a worsening flood situation within the next 24 to 48 hours, the Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre said.
Floodwater has begun to recede in Moulvibazar, but mud, fuel shortages and a lack of clean drinking water mean many flood-hit families still cannot light their stoves.
Floodwater is slowly receding in Bandarban, but thousands of families remain marooned and farmers, roads and bridges have suffered heavy losses.
EnvironmentAs rain eased on 11 July 2026, the Raikhyong river in Rangamati's Bilaichhari began to fall and water drained from Baghaichhari, though 1,445 people were still in shelters there.
EnvironmentOn 11 July 2026 the Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre said rain and upstream runoff had pushed four rivers above the danger level at six points, the Sangu 107 cm above at Bandarban.
EnvironmentSherpur's main rivers fell below the danger level from 10 July 2026, but hill runoff had wrecked part of the Sherpur-Nalitabari road at Gollarpar; with no crops in the fields, farm losses were slight.
Rivers in Sunamganj have started to fall, but the Water Development Board says the risk of flooding has not passed.
The Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre says Sylhet and Sunamganj may flood within the next 24 to 72 hours after flash floods hit Habiganj and Moulvibazar.
Continuous rain and hill torrents from upstream are steadily raising rivers in Sunamganj, and the Bangladesh Water Development Board fears a short-term flood if the trend continues.
