Погода: Кокс-Базар, январь

Chittagong forum regulars, drawing on the same Bangladesh-wide conversation as Dhaka, call January the perfect time to visit, pleasant weather that's not humid at all — though a late winter can occasionally bring a cold, foggy stretch. December and January together get named as the ideal travel window: no rain, full blossom of winter, neither the summer heat nor the monsoon humidity in play. Anyone heading into the Chittagong Hill Tracts specifically needs a local guide and a permit from the Deputy Commissioner's office in the city, obtainable on a weekday morning before 11am — a logistics note as important as the weather for that particular trip. Our record: 24.3°C days, 16°C nights, just 1.2 rain days and an AQI of 126 — mild and dry, matching the “perfect, not humid” read, with the AQI figure the one thing the pure weather praise leaves out.

Forum posters describe August across Bangladesh as hot, humid and squarely within monsoon season, with a high likelihood of heavy rainfall and localized flooding risk. Posters recommend November through March as the more reliable window specifically for Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh's main beach destination, implying August sits well outside its ideal weather stretch. Posters are consistent that while some sights and attractions elsewhere in the country remain accessible during the rains, travel plans benefit from staying flexible and monitoring forecasts closely. Some posters do note a certain charming, moody atmosphere to traveling Bangladesh during the rainy season for those willing to embrace it. Posters generally rate August as hot, wet and outside Cox's Bazar's recommended beach season, workable only with realistic, flexible expectations.

Forum posters name February as the supreme time to visit Bangladesh generally, describing it as much less hot and humid with winter in full bloom - genuinely the best weather window of the year by posters' consistent reckoning. Posters name November through March, and February specifically, as the best stretch for Cox's Bazar, with December and January noted as running properly cold by local standards even though this is nowhere near a Northern-Hemisphere winter cold. Posters generally recommend February as a strong, low-risk choice for beach time along Cox's Bazar's long coastline, sitting comfortably within the dry winter season before the pre-monsoon heat begins building later in spring.
