In Bangladesh, authorities reported 14 deaths caused by lightning, following sudden storms that brought torrential rains and unstable weather conditions. Most of the victims were farmers working in open fields and laborers in unprotected areas. Several people were injured and transported to hospitals, some in critical condition.

Lightning poses a constant threat in Bangladesh, where, in 2016, it was declared a natural disaster. Experts associate the increase in the number of deaths with deforestation, which has led to the disappearance of tall trees that protected the population from lightning. These incidents are common in the pre-monsoon period, from April to June, when weather conditions become increasingly unstable.
