Seasons In Bangladesh

Seasons In Bangladesh

At an interval of every two months, there appears a new season in Bangladesh. Thus we have six seasons in Bangladesh. They are summer, the rainy season, autumn, the late autumn, winter and spring.

Baishakh and Jaistha are the summer months. Summer is the season of scorching sun, It is the season of perspiration and thirst. The sun is so hot that sometimes it becomes tiresome to do any work. Schools and colleges remain closed for some time during this season. Ponds and tanks dry up and many villages suffer much from the scarcity of drinking water. Cholera breaks out here and there in an epidemic form. The north-western wind blows sometimes in a terrible form. But summer has its boons also. It is in this season that we get mangoes, lichis, jack-fruits and many other fruits.

Then comes the rainy season. The months of Ashar and Sraban make the rainy season. In this season, the sky remains cloudy and it rains day and night. Rivers, tanks, ponds and canals are full of water. Fields go under water. Farmers plough their fields and sow seeds of paddy. Sometimes the rivers overflow their banks and many villages go under water. Villagers go from one place to another by boat. In this season, fishermen have plenty of fish to catch and there is brisk trade in Hilsha fish. In some places malaria breaks out towards the end of this season.

The cloudy sky clears up at the advent of autumn which occupies the months of Bhadra and Aswin. White and light patches of cloud sometimes float here and there in the sky, but rain is not copious. There is still water in the canals and low lands but they gradually begin to dry up. Plenty of fish is available in those places. Bangladesh's principal cash crop jute is ready for sale. Nature is washed clean: filth and din have already been carried away by the rains. The Hindus have their Durga Puja in this season.

The autumn rolls into late autumn or Hemanta which is the season of dew. Harvesting of crops begins soon. The golden paddy in the fields creates in the minds of the peasants many happy dreams. It is neither hot nor cold but one feels that winter is not far.

Winter comes with its fog and chill. Life in nature seems to be dull. Trees turn grey and almost leafless. Men shiver with cold. The sky becomes clear and blue. Poor people suffer much from cold. Vegetables are available in abundance. Iris the season of gur and patali which are the special products of Bangladesh.

Last of all comes the spring season. It is the loveliest of all seasons. The cold of winter is over. Days are warm. Lifeless trees put on new leaves. Flowers bloom and a gentle breeze blows. Bees hum and the cuckoo sings in joy. There is joy everywhere.

With the end of the spring the seasons in Bangladesh take a complete cycle. Thus the seasons come and go making Bangladesh a land of beauty variety and plenty.
