The severity of the ongoing cold spell across the country, especially over the northern regions, is likely to ease from Sunday (Dec 22), according to the Met office.
“Severity of cold is likely to abate slightly from Sunday. The sun might be seen while day and night temperature would rise over the country,” Deputy Director of Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) Kawsar Perveen told the BSS.
The severity of cold, however, may remain unchanged over the eastern part of Dhaka and Faridpur, Madaripur, Gopalganj, Chattogram, Barishal, Rajshahi and Rangpur regions, she said.
Besides, the temperature may fall again on Dec 25-26 as there is a prediction of cloudy weather along with drizzling on the days, the official added.
The weather over the Faridpur, Madaripur, Gopalganj, Barishal, Khulna, Jashore, Chuadanga and Rajshahi districts has improved slightly on Saturday after the current season’s first spell of mild cold wave that lasted for three days.
In 24 hours weather bulleting starting from 9am Sunday, the Met office said moderate to thick fog may occur over the country during midnight to morning. The night and day temperature may rise in the next 72 hours.
Weather may remain dry with partly cloudy sky over the country.
