When to go, and when not to
January, February, November, and December stand out as the best months to visit Dhaka, combining low rainfall of 3 to 36 millimeters with roughly 9.2 to 9.9 hours of sunshine a day and comfortable high temperatures ranging from about 24.6 to 29.7 degrees Celsius. These conditions make outdoor sightseeing more comfortable than during the hotter or wetter parts of the year.
The trade-off is that peak season overlaps with these same months plus August, so travelers seeking the best weather may also encounter more visitors. August itself brings the heaviest rainfall of the year at 352 millimeters despite being a peak month, while April is the hottest month with highs reaching 35.6 degrees Celsius, and the monsoon months of May, June, and July bring extended heavy rain alongside lower visit scores.
