Dhaka, May 29 -- Bangladesh's capital and several other parts of the country woke up to rain on Thursday morning, brought on by a low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal.

The showers offered some relief after days of sweltering heat but caused significant disruptions to daily life.

In Dhaka, the rain was not particularly heavy, but it began early in the morning and continued steadily.

Office-goers and students struggled to keep dry while trying to reach their destinations.
