Since early July 2026, Bangladesh has been hit by a severe monsoon emergency combining flash flooding, riverine inundation, and devastating landslides. A well-marked lowpressure system brought unprecedented heavy rainfall, recording 815mm in Chattogram, 518mm in Lama (Bandarban), and 330mm in Cox’s Bazar, triggering massive landslides across Chittagong Hill Tracts. A secondary spell (10–13 July) caused severe river embankment breaches along the Dhalai River in Kamalganj, spreading destruction into North-Eastern districts.
