A mild cold wave is sweeping several parts of the country and it may continue, the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) said Thursday morning.
According to the regular bulletin of BMD, "Mild cold wave is sweeping Nilphamari, Pabna, Dinajpur and Kurigram and it may continue."
The weather may remain dry with temporary partly cloudy skies over the country, it said.
Moderate to thick fog may occur at places over the river basins and light to moderate fog may occur elsewhere in the country from late night to morning, said the bulletin.
Night temperature may fall slightly, and day temperature may remain nearly unchanged over the country.
Meanwhile, the depression over Southwest Bay and the adjoining area moved west-southwestwards and crossed the Sri Lankan Coast on Thursday. It is likely to move further westwards and southwards.
Its associated trough extends up to North Bay. The ridge of sub-continental high extends up to West Bengal and the adjoining area.
