Best time to fly from Cebu to Dhaka

An ideal time to fly to Dhaka is during winter (November to February) which is nice with its mild temperature range from 12–15 to 30 degrees. However, this is also a high season for picnickers and tourists who flock the beaches. This is also the period one can go trekking in the hill tracts or visit the Sundarbans, the mangrove forest. Another good season is the monsoon, although the rainfall may hamper your plans, the hill tracts become lush with greenery. The rivers are flowing at their fullest, and if you are kind of a person who likes rain (like many Bangladeshis), you may enjoy this season. Besides that, Summer is good if you would want to attend the Bengali new year festivities. But be prepared for the sweltering heat and uncomfortable humidity. However, this is slightly compensated by the availability of summer fruits.
