Heatwave affects Dhaka, other divisions; temperatures expected to rise

Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) reports that a mild to moderate heatwave is currently impacting all eight divisions, including Dhaka. According to the BMD, this weather pattern, affecting Rangpur, Rajshahi, Mymensingh, Dhaka, Khulna, Barishal, Chattogram, and Sylhet divisions, is expected to continue.

The forecast indicates predominantly dry weather conditions with temporary periods of partly cloudy skies across the country. Both day and night temperatures are anticipated to rise slightly, which may increase discomfort due to higher moisture levels in the air.

On Wednesday, Dinajpur experienced the country’s highest temperature at 39 degrees Celsius. Conversely, the lowest temperature recorded was 23.1 degrees Celsius in Tetulia, Panchagarh on Thursday.
