When did Bangladesh flood?

Bangladesh floods can occur anytime of the year, but the monsoon season (June to October) is when they are most common and severe.

These floods are caused by heavy rainfall, snowmelt from the Himalayas, and cyclones from the Bay of Bengal. The country's low-lying geography and extensive river systems also contribute to the frequency and severity of floods.

Some of the most notable floods in Bangladesh in recent years include:

- 1970 Bhola cyclone and flood: This was one of the deadliest natural disasters in history, killing an estimated 300,000 people.

- 1988 flood: This flood affected over 30 million people and caused widespread damage to crops and infrastructure.

- 1998 flood: This flood affected over 30 million people and caused widespread damage to crops and infrastructure.

- 2004 flood: This flood affected over 10 million people and caused widespread damage to crops and infrastructure.

- 2007 flood: This flood affected over 10 million people and caused widespread damage to crops and infrastructure.
