Bangladesh is a land of six seasons. The rainy in one of the them. It comprise the Bengli month of Ashar and Sravan. After a long spell of hot weather, the rainy season comes with showers to cool the earth. Our economy, culture and way of life are loosely related to it. The rainy season is caused by monsoon.

During the rainy season the sky often remains overcast with thick black lauds that cover across the sky close to the earths suffers surface. Violent blasts of wind blow, lighting, flasher and thunder roar.

The sun remains hidden behind of the clouds and it rains in torrents. Sometimes, there is continuous rain for days together. The low lying lands go under water and look like a vast sheet of water. The rainy season undoubtedly does must good to us. Name assumes a new appearance at the advent of the rainy season. The landscape appears green. The rainwater washes away the filth and purifies the surface of the earth. It lessons the intense heat of summer.

It makes our land alluvial, fertile and suitable for growing better crops. The atmosphere becomes clean and free of dust. The rainy season in not an unmixed blessing all the times. It has disadvantage too. During the season the roads in the countryside become muddy and slippery and as such people can not go from one place to other place foot easily. Sometimes heavy rainfall overflows the banks of the rivers and causes floods, which damage our crops, cattle, houses and properties. But whatever the demerits of the rainy season, it is the most important and useful season in our country. The prosperity and development of our agriculture, which is the heart of our economy largely, depend on the mercy of the rainy season.
