Tetulia shivers at season's lowest 8.9°C

The northern tip of Bangladesh is reeling under a biting cold as Tetulia in Panchagarh district on Thursday recorded the season's lowest temperature at 8.9 degrees Celsius, marking for the first time the mercury dipped below the 10-degree mark, reports BSS.
The persistent chill has intensified the woes of residents, who are grappling with sharp contrasts between frosty mornings and relatively warmer afternoons. Meteorologists say such fluctuations are prolonging discomfort and may deepen in the coming days.
According to the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD), Teknaf in the southeast registered the country's highest temperature at 31.4 degrees Celsius on Wednesday, underscoring the stark north-south divide in weather conditions.
The BMD forecast, issued at 9:00 am today, predicted generally dry weather with temporary partly cloudy skies across most regions over the next 24 hours. Light fog is likely to blanket parts of the country during the early morning hours. Nighttime temperatures may fall slightly, while daytime readings are expected to remain nearly unchanged.
In Dhaka, the sun will set at 5:12 pm today and rise at 6:32 am tomorrow.
