Note: The methodology used in the Global Open Data Index has changed over time; significantly so between 2015 and 2016. For this reason, the results are not directly comparable over time.

What data is expected?

3-day forecasts of temperature, precipitation and wind. Forecasts have to be provided for several regions in the country. Short-term weather forecasts are relevant for the general public to plan activities, while also being reliable. See our methodology section for more information.

  • Temperature extremes
  • Temperature average
  • Wind speed
  • Wind direction
  • Precipitation Amount
  • Precipitation Probability
  • Forecast for current day and four following days

How open is the data?

The original submission was reject because the website of the Bangladesh Meteorological Department does not display forecast data. It displays various data for the current day, such as at this URL: https://bmd.gov.bd/?/home/#Rangpur This page shows data on temperature extremes and rainfall, as well as wind speed. To access wind direction, a click on the forecast section is needed. The forecast is only available for the current day (following 2 days indicate very vaguely how the weather will change, such as "night temperature may rise": see here https://bmd.gov.bd/?/p/=Weather-Forecast. This does not qualify for a submission. Data can be downloaded as PDF file for the current day. It could not be verified wether the data is openly licensed or in the public domain. The initial submission has been made by Nurunnaby Hasive. Thank you very much for contributing to the Global Open Data Index.
