Saturday, 16 January 2010
RANGPUR, Jan 15 (BSS): The overall weather continued to improve Friday as the sun reappeared in the sky in the northern region.
Both the high and low temperatures marked further rises bringing more relief to the common people. The minimum temperature marked rise by one to three degree Celsius on an average at most points while the maximum temperature went high by five to eight degrees at places in the region during the past 24 hours.
Though the cool wind is still blowing from the west and north- western directions, it is not affecting normal life as the sun shone brightly.
The day labourers are continuing their normal activities while business centres, markets, hats and bazars, river ports and ferry ghats, bus stands, terminals and also rail stations are teeming with life.
"Despite improvement in the weather, we will continue to distribute the allocated blankets among the cold-hit people for the next couple of days," District Relief and Rehabilitation Officer of Rangpur Mokhlesur Rahman told the news agency Friday.
Besides, dozens of NGOs as well as BDR, various charitable, voluntary and socio-cultural organisations, business leaders, banks and well-to-do section of the society are distributing warm clothes among the distressed people.
"So far, the Rabi crops, including BORO seedbeds, remained unaffected and improvement in the weather is helping the plants grow," deputy director of DAE Kamal Shariful Alam said.
On an average, the minimum temperature ranged between 9.5 and 12.4 degrees Friday against Thursday's 9.1 and 11 degrees and maximum temperature remained between 22.5 and 24 degrees against the previous day's 15.1 and 19.1 degrees Celsius in the region.
The Met Office recorded the country's minimum temperature at 8.1 degrees in Srimangal Friday against Thursday's lowest of 9.1 degrees Celsius at Sayedpur.
