Dhaka experiences a tropical monsoon climate with three distinct seasons:
Best time to visit. Temperatures range from 12-25°C (54-77°F) with clear skies and minimal rainfall. Dry, pleasant weather perfect for sightseeing and outdoor activities. Festivities and cultural events peak during this season. Hotels and attractions are busier.
Temperatures rise to 25-35°C (77-95°F) with occasional pre-monsoon storms. Heat increases significantly by May. Less crowded than winter but less comfortable for daytime activities. Good for budget travelers seeking fewer tourists.
Hot, humid, and wet with heavy rainfall, especially July-August. Temperatures reach 28-37°C (82-99°F) with high humidity making outdoor exploration difficult. Flooding possible in low areas. Not recommended for general tourism, though monsoon reveals Dhaka's lush greenery. Budget accommodations available.
