Rainfall in Bangladesh this year: Sometimes it fell, sometimes it didn't

[These fluctuations were "definitely" caused by CO2; we know this because of *cough...mumble*]
Leading climate and water expert professor Ainun Nishat said the country this year saw excessive pre-monsoon downpours particularly in northeastern region of Bangladesh causing flash floods.
But from June to August, he said, the country witnessed half than the usual rainfall, other than localised heavy downpours, affecting the Aman crops while again it witnessed heavy rainfall in October.
“This is not the normal behaviour of weather in our country and definitely it is linked to the climate change,” Nishat said.
