Monday, 05 January 2026 , 01:33 PM
A mild cold wave is currently sweeping across the Rajshahi division and the districts of Dinajpur, Jashore, Chuadanga, and Kushtia, with the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) predicting these conditions may persist.
According to the forecast for the next 24 hours starting from 9 am on Monday, the weather across the country is expected to remain largely dry with occasional partly cloudy skies.
Moderate to thick fog is anticipated to develop across various regions from midnight through the morning, potentially lingering until noon in some areas.
The BMD warned that this dense fog could cause temporary disruptions to air travel, inland river transport, and road communications.
While day and night temperatures are expected to remain stable, the persistent fog is likely to maintain a biting cold sensation throughout the country.
Recent records show the nation's highest temperature reached 26.7 degrees Celsius in Teknaf on Sunday, while Ishurdi recorded the lowest at 08.4 degrees Celsius this morning.
In the capital, sunset is scheduled for 5:25 pm today, with sunrise expected at 6:43 am on Tuesday.
