On Tuesday, Sreemangal in Moulvibazar district braved the lowest temperature of 9.7°C, signaling the onset of a mild cold wave impacting multiple regions in Bangladesh.
The Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) anticipates the continuation of this cold wave, emphasizing the varying temperatures across the country. Sreemangal marked the lowest temperature, while Cox’s Bazar reported the highest at 24.5°C.
In meteorological terms, temperatures between 8-10°C indicate a mild cold wave, 6-8°C represent a moderate one, and anything below 6°C suggests a severe cold wave.
The weather bulletin also forecasts moderate to thick fog enveloping the country from midnight to morning, potentially extending until noon in certain areas. This foggy condition could temporarily disrupt air navigation, inland river transport, and road communication.
The weather outlook predicts dry conditions with temporary partly cloudy skies throughout the country, with no significant changes in night and day temperatures expected.
The impact of the cold wave is palpable among residents, particularly in Dhaka, where the winter chill is felt more intensely in recent days. Northern regions are facing even harsher conditions, significantly affecting daily activities. Vulnerable groups, including day laborers, children, and the elderly, bear the brunt of the severe cold.
In summary, Bangladesh grapples with a challenging winter marked by lower temperatures, influencing daily life and transportation across various regions. Stay updated for the latest weather developments and safety precautions.
