=== Climate === Bangladesh lies '''along the Tropic of Cancer''', giving it a '''tropical climate''' characterized by three distinct seasons: a '''mild winter''' from October to March, a '''hot and humid summer''' from March to June, and a '''rainy monsoon season''' from June to October. The country has never recorded a temperature below 0 °C (32 °F); the lowest temperature ever recorded was '''1.1 °C (34 °F)''' in '''Dinajpur''' on 3 February 1905. The monsoon brings the majority of the country’s rainfall, which plays a crucial role in agriculture but also contributes to annual natural disasters. Bangladesh is highly vulnerable to '''natural calamities''', including floods, tropical cyclones, tornadoes, and tidal bores, which occur almost every year. These disasters are often intensified by environmental issues such as deforestation, soil erosion, and land degradation. Among the most catastrophic events were the '''cyclones of 1970 and 1991''', with the latter killing about '''140,000 people'''. In September 1998, the country experienced its '''worst flood in modern history''', submerging nearly '''two-thirds of the land''' and resulting in over 1,000 deaths. Over time, national and international disaster risk reduction initiatives have helped reduce the '''human and economic toll''' of such events. However, severe disasters still occur. For example, during the '''2007 South Asian floods''', approximately '''five million people''' were displaced and '''around 500 people''' lost their lives. These challenges are worsened by '''climate change''', which continues to increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events across the country.
