The Meteorological Department has again issued a 24-hour 'heat alert' in the country. The heatwave warning has been issued for the next 24 hours from 6 PM on Saturday (May 4).
Mild to moderate heatwave is still continuing over some other regions of the country including Dhaka.
The warning message signed by meteorologist Khondokar Hafizur Rahman said that the mild to moderate heatwave over Dhaka, Rajshahi, Khulna and Barishal division may continue for 24 hours from 6 PM on Saturday to 6 PM on Sunday. At this time, uncomfortable conditions may also persist due to the excess of water vapor.
Day and night temperature may remain almost unchanged across the country.
Earlier on April 19, the Meteorological Department issued a three-day heat alert for the first time due to severe heatwave across the country. Then it increased in several steps.
