When to go
The best time to visit Bangladesh is winter, between
mid-December and February. Typically, in November and in the first half of December, the weather is good, and it's hot but not too much, but we cannot exclude that some cloud banks can still form, or that a cyclone, maybe outside of the normal season, can arrive.
In March and April it's hot, and thunderstorms, sometimes intense, can develop in the afternoon or in the evening.
What to pack
In
winter: bring spring/autumn clothes (light for the day), a jacket and a sweater for the evening, and possibly a hat and a scarf for cooler evenings in the north (see Rangpur and Saidpur).
In
summer: bring tropics-friendly, lightweight clothing of natural fibers, and a light raincoat or umbrella (although the latter is not always effective against the monsoon rains).
