Two farmers were killed by lightning strike while working at a Haor in Dhitpur village in Dirai upazila on Friday afternoon.
The deceased were identified as Rabindra Das, 55 and Tipu Das, 25 of the village.
The two farmers died on the spot when a streak of thunderbolt struck them while they were covering their harvested paddy at Dabhanga Haor around 5:30pm, said Ekbar Hossain, chairman of Kulonja Union.
At least 4 people have died as a result of floods and mudslides in Uzbekistan after a month's worth of rain fell in less than 2 hours. The country's Ministry of Emergency Situations (MES) said the floods are some of the worst seen in 80 years.
Uzbekistan's Hydrometeorological Service said areas of Samarkand and Jizzakh regions recorded more rain in 2 hours on 20 April than is normally seen for the whole of an average April. More rain is expected over the coming days.
April snow caused headaches for drivers on Golija. "Putevi Ivanjica", the municipal Mountain Service and the Gendarmerie took part in rescuing the snow-covered people.
In the 1,000 to 1,900 meter high town of Navacerrada in the Madrid region, about 50 kilometers northwest of the Spanish capital, there was, for example, 36 centimeters of fresh snow, as reported by the newspaper "El Pais" and other media, citing the responsible authorities.
There hadn't been such a heavy snowfall in April in the municipality with around 3,000 inhabitants for 20 years. Elsewhere in Spain, authorities reported problems on 26 major trunk roads.
It is not the snow itself that is surprising, reported "El Pais", but its intensity. Although these white images are surprising at this stage of spring, snow is not unheard of in Spain's main mountain ranges at this time of year, Aemet Weather Service spokesman Ruben del Campo said. The thick snowflakes, on the other hand, are unusual and conspicuous, according to the meteorologist.

More snow fell on Tuesday than what Calgary had for the entire month of March according to Tiffany Lizée, chief meteorologist for Global Calgary.
In the past 24 hours, Calgary had 22 centimetres of snow, a record-breaker for April 19 in Calgary.
"The snowiest day we've had all season!" Lizée said.
"Normally throughout the beginning months of the year — 17 centimetres for January and February, 23 centimetres in March and 21 centimetres in April —- we didn't see this amount of snow throughout these months, so we had more snow yesterday than what we had for the entire month of February and March and then we had our entire monthly snowfall for April in one day."

An ag economist says his concerns of tight wheat ending stocks are getting worse with more adverse weather in parts of the Western Plains and Western Cornbelt.
The University of Missouri's Ben Brown said freezing temperatures early this morning in states like Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska give farmers a reason to worry.
"Well, we don't want freeze warnings when the wheat is coming out dormancy...," he said. "This morning would've been something that would've caused some panic."
Brown said the freeze might have knocked out some early planted soybeans too.
The most snow -- 18 inches -- fell in the southern Cortland County town of Virgil. In second place, with 16.3 inches, was another Central New York spot: the village of Erieville, in Madison County.
Hilltops and mountains collected the most snow because they stayed colder longer than the valleys, so more of the storm's moisture fell as snow and less as rain. Virgil sits at 1,424 feet above sea level; Erieville is 1,499 feet.
Two records were set in Binghamton: The highest snowfall total on April 19, with 11 inches. The old record was 6.9 inches. The total snowfall, which started Monday night, also broke the two-day snowfall record for April.
More than 100 centimeters of snow fell in a week in California's Sierra Nevada mountains after another late-season snowfall, UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab said on Saturday, April 16.
The UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab said 19 centimeters (7.5 inches) of snow fell overnight into Saturday morning, for a total of 100 centimeters (39.4 inches) in the seven days leading to April 16.
Video from outside the lab posted on April 16 shows heavy snow falling on top of accumulated snow from the previous days. More snow was expected in the coming week, the lab said.
Mystery creates wonder, and wonder is the basis for man's desire to understand. Who knows what mysteries will be solved in our lifetime, and what new riddles will become the challenge of the new generations.
