Postal codes come from the free GeoNames dataset. Where a code is listed with a distance, it belongs to a nearby settlement — GeoNames spells that name differently from ours.
Dhaka follows Bangladesh Standard Time. The city is six hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time and does not currently observe daylight saving time. This keeps Dhaka’s civil-time offset unchanged throughout the year.
An unchanged local offset does not always mean an unchanged difference from your city. If your location moves its clocks seasonally, the gap between the two places will move with it. For future arrangements, perform the conversion using the actual meeting date.
Use Dhaka’s displayed clock for the current local time. Look at the date when the participants are far apart geographically. Check seasonal rules at the other end of an international call. State “Dhaka time” when sharing a schedule across locations.
The safest calendar invitation is the one that converts itself; mental arithmetic has a habit of taking unscheduled leave.
Sunrise and sunset are astronomical events calculated for Dhaka’s location. Their local times vary through the year. They provide useful anchors for planning, but the amount of visible light also depends on twilight, clouds, haze, and nearby obstructions.
For a departure before work, compare the planned time with sunrise rather than assuming that the same hour is always equally bright. For evening activities, sunset indicates when the Sun leaves the horizon, not the exact moment that darkness becomes complete.
Select the date relevant to the activity. Check sunrise for morning visibility. Consult sunset and twilight for evening plans. Allow extra margin if clear daylight is essential.
The weather display brings present conditions and forecast information into the same local context as the clock. That makes it easier to ask practical questions: whether rain may coincide with a commute, whether the warmest conditions are expected before an appointment, or whether wind could affect an outdoor task.
Read each weather element for what it describes. Temperature concerns the air; humidity affects comfort; wind describes moving air; precipitation indicates rain or another form of water falling from the atmosphere. No single value gives a complete picture.
Conditions in a large urban area are not perfectly uniform. A report associated with Dhaka may differ from what is happening on a particular street. Recheck close to departure, and use official alerts when conditions could affect safety, flooding, transport, or public operations.
