Lightning-related fatalities are common during the pre-monsoon months of April to June, when rising heat and humidity create unstable weather conditions.

Lightning strikes killed at least 14 people across Bangladesh as thunderstorms swept through multiple districts following a prolonged heat wave. The deaths were reported in seven districts, including five in northern Gaibandha district. Experts link the rise in fatalities to deforestation, which has led to the disappearance of many tall trees that previously helped draw lightning away from people.
