13th session SDG No. 6 Clean water and Sanitization Seasons and Clean Water and Sanitization

Bangladesh is called the land of six seasons (Sadartu). It has a temperate CLIMATE because of its physical location. Though the climate of Bangladesh is mainly sub-tropical monsoon, ie warm and humid; Bangla calendar year is traditionally divided into six seasons: Grisma (summer), Barsa (rainy), Sarat (autumn), Hemanta (late autumn), Shhit (winter) and Basanta (spring). Each season comprises two months, but some seasons flow into other seasons, while others are short. Actually, Bangladesh has three distinct seasons: the pre-monsoon hot season from March through May, rainy monsoon season which lasts from June through October, and a cool dry winter season from November through February. However, March may also be considered as the spring season, and the period from mid-October through mid-November may be called the autumn.

The pre-monsoon hot season is characterised by high temperature and occurrence of thunderstorms. April is the hottest month in the country when the mean temperature ranges from 27'C in the east and south to 31'C in the west-central part of the country. After April, increasing cloud-cover dampens temperature. Wind direction is variable in this season, especially during its early part. RAINFALL accounts for 10 to 25 percent of the annual total, which is caused by thunderstorms.

Summer Baishakh and Jyaistha (mid-April to mid-June), the two Bangla calendar months, when days are hot and dry. But the influence of summer is usually felt from mid-March. The heat of the sun dries up the waterbodies including the RIVERS, the WETLANDS. The summer days are longer than the nights. (grisma) Comprises and CANALS

According to the Bangla calendar it spreads over the months of Paus and Magh (mid- December to mid-February). practically, November through February is the winter season in Bangladesh.
