Moulvibazar sits in Bangladesh’s Sylhet basin, a low-lying wetland region of seasonal lakes known as haors, where the monsoon combines with exceptionally heavy rainfall draining off the nearby Meghalaya hills in India.
Near the Indian border in the Sylhet basin, the city’s tea-growing hills feed streams that can rise very quickly during intense monsoon rain. This region receives some of the highest rainfall totals in Bangladesh because of its proximity to Cherrapunji and other extremely wet areas just across the Indian border, and flash flooding here can develop very quickly, making radar an essential tool for tracking incoming storm systems.
