A mild cold wave is sweeping across several districts of the country, while night temperatures may fall slightly and moderate to thick fog is likely to affect parts of Bangladesh, causing persistent cold conditions.

The Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) issued the forecast this morning for the next 24 hours from 9:00am. According to the bulletin, the mild cold wave is currently affecting Pabna, Sirajganj, Cumilla, Jashore, Kushtia, Moulvibazar and the Sylhet division, and it may continue.

The BMD said night temperatures may drop slightly, while day temperatures could rise somewhat across the country. Moderate to thick fog may form from midnight to morning and may persist until noon in some areas, leading to lingering cold conditions nationwide.

The bulletin warned that thick fog could temporarily disrupt air navigation, inland river transport and road communication. However, the weather is expected to remain dry with a temporarily partly cloudy sky.

On Saturday, Teknaf recorded the highest temperature at 26.8°C, while Srimangal recorded the lowest at 9.5°C today.

In Dhaka, sunset will be at 5:25pm today and sunrise at 6:42am tomorrow.
