Dhaka, June 12 -- Rain has poured down on Dhaka on Friday, the first day of the weekend.

The shower led to waterlogging in different parts of the capital, including the Prime Minister's Office and the Jahangir Gate area for around three hours from 3pm on Friday.

The Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) recorded around 43mm of rain across Dhaka over the period.

The northwestern seasonal monsoon wind has brought rain to the capital and several other parts of the country. After days of sweltering summer heat, the coming rainy season is making itself known.
