Relentless heavy rainfall over the past three days, coupled with flash floods from upstream hill regions, has severely disrupted normal life in Chattogram and several other parts of Bangladesh. Widespread waterlogging has inundated most low-lying areas of Chattogram city, submerging homes, educational institutions, roads, and railway tracks. Train services on the Chattogram–Cox's Bazar route have remained suspended for two consecutive days, while the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) examinations have also been postponed. Cargo handling at the outer anchorage of Chattogram Port has been disrupted, although operations at the main jetties continue as usual.

In the three hill districts of Rangamati, Khagrachhari, and Bandarban, rivers have risen above danger levels, cutting off road communications in many areas. Around 600 tourists remain stranded in Sajek, where resort owners have arranged free accommodation. In Bandarban, nearly 700 people have taken shelter in emergency shelters, while authorities in Khagrachhari have kept 135 shelters ready for evacuation if needed. The administration has issued warnings over the risk of landslides, and all tourist destinations in Bandarban have been closed until July 12 as a precaution.

The adverse weather has also affected Bangladesh's coastal regions. Thirteen fishermen remain missing after three fishing trawlers capsized in the Bay of Bengal. Water transport between Hatiya in Noakhali and the mainland has remained suspended for four days.

Reports of severe waterlogging, rising river levels, road damage, and extensive agricultural losses have also emerged from Satkania, Chakaria, Matamuhuri, Mymensingh, Moulvibazar, Barguna, Kishoreganj, Habiganj, and several other districts. With forecasts indicating further deterioration in weather conditions, local administrations across the affected areas remain on high alert.
