A severe heatwave is sweeping through the Khulna division and districts of Rajshahi, Pabna, and Tangail, as reported by the Bangladesh Meteorological Department.
The heatwave is expected to persist for the next five days starting from 9 am on Saturday, according to forecasts.
Chuadanga recorded the country’s highest temperature of 41 degrees Celsius on Friday, marking the peak of the season’s temperatures in the district over the past three days.
Meanwhile, a mild to moderate heatwave is affecting the Barishal division, as well as parts of the Dhaka and Rajshahi divisions, along with Chandpur and Moulvibazar districts. This pattern is likely to continue, according to the meteorological department.
Additionally, there is a possibility of rain or thunder showers accompanied by temporary gusty or squally winds in one or two places over Mymensingh, Sylhet, and Chattogram divisions, with isolated instances of hail.
Elsewhere in the country, the weather is expected to remain mainly dry with temporary partly cloudy skies.
Both daytime and nighttime temperatures may experience a slight rise nationwide, leading to increased discomfort due to heightened moisture levels.
