Field notes
Tropical monsoon (Bengal delta) — defined seasons. Cool dry winter (December–February, 19–22°C average) is the postcard working window. Pre-monsoon hot dry stretch (March–May) is brutally hot with peaks above 35°C. Monsoon (June–September) brings catastrophic flooding regularly — Dhaka sits on the world's largest delta and is among the most flood-vulnerable major cities. Air quality is a structural problem — PM2.5 readings rank Dhaka consistently among the worst-polluted cities globally, particularly November–February.
