rainy season

There are six season in Bangladesh. The rainy season is the second season of them. The Bengali months––‘Ashar’ and ‘Shraban’ are called the rainy season. Sometimes it begins earlier and lasts longer. Of all seasons I like the rainy most.

The rainy season is caused by monsoon. The south-west monsoon that blows from the Bay of Bengal over Bangladesh brings much vapor. It receives a heavy rainfall and since them rainy season occurs in Bangladesh.

During the rainy season the sky remains cloudy. Sometimes the sun is not seen. During this time it rains cats and dogs. Sometimes it rains for days together it rains for days for days together. Roads become muddy. Rivers, canals and ponds are filled with water. They overflow their banks. Fields go under water.

The rainy season is surely a blessing for our country. Bangladesh is an agricultural country and most of the crops are dependent on the rain water. Current of rain water makes our soil fertile. It washes away the filth and dirt from the earth’s surface. Men can easily go from one place to another by boat.

The rainy season is not blessing for us all the times. In the rainy season the roads become muddy and slippery. The poor and the day labored suffer much. They cannot go our of doors for work. Cattle have to suffer much. Various diseases like cholera, typhoid, and dysentery break out. Sometimes there are floods and it washes away our crops and houses.

Though the rainy season has its demerits, it is blessing to the economy of our country and the prosperity of our people. It helps the nature to gain a new life. We always welcome this season and enjoy its beauty.
