Regional climatic differences in this flat country are minor, though some variations can be seen between the weather patterns of the northern and southern regions, as the piedmontal plains of the former have a monsoon-influenced humid subtropical climate.

Bangladesh's geographic location, situated on the Bay of Bengal and at the confluence of major rivers like the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna, makes it highly vulnerable to natural disasters such as floods and cyclones. The country is primarily a low-lying delta, with about two-thirds of its land area less than 5 meters above sea level, making it prone to riverine and coastal flooding. Additionally, its tropical monsoon climate brings heavy rainfall, increasing the risk of floods. At the same time, its location near warm ocean waters is ideal for the formation of intense cyclones, which frequently strike the coastal regions.
