Climate

The climate in Bangladesh is subtropical with mild winters from October to March and hot humid summers from March to June. This climate might seem similar to here in Hawaii, however, there is one major aspect that makes the weather in Bangladesh different. A monsoon season! this occurs during June and October when it is humid, warm, and very rainy. While most of the country i'd dominated by subtropical and tropical conditions there is variation in the climate across the country. For example, the western portion is considered arid.
