The Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) has said the temperature is likely to drop further after a light rain or drizzle in parts of Bangladesh.

Bazlur Rashid, a meteorologist at BMD, told news agency UNB on Thursday (Jan 9) that moderate to thick fog may appear between midnight and morning.

In its regular weather update, the Met Office said drizzle is likely to occur at a few places over Rajshahi, Dhaka and Sylhet divisions and at one or two places over Rangpur, Khulna, Barishal, Mymensingh and Chattogram divisions.

Night and day temperature may fall slightly all over the country.

Bangladesh’s northern region has been shivering in an ongoing cold wave. The season’s lowest temperature was recorded in Panchagarh’s Tetulia at 4.5 degrees Celsius on December 29 last year.

People, especially children, the old and day labourers, are suffering the most.
