Abstract

Rainfall is the important climatic parameter on which the agriculture and economic condition of Bangladesh depends. For this reason, the scenario of rainfall throughout the country was illustrated briefly in this paper. Secondary data which were annual rainfall data of 34 stations were mainly used for this study, and these data were collected from BBS (Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics) between 2007 and 2019. The data were analyzed and visualized with the aid of Excel. However, the highest rainfall almost 5944 mm was recorded in Sylhet during the year 2017, and the lowest was 792 mm in Rajshahi in 2010. On the contrary, the minimum fluctuation of rainfall was observed in Mongla, whereas, the maximum fluctuation was found in Sylhet.
