The western district of Chuadanga recorded the season’s lowest 13.8 degrees Celsius temperature on Wednesday morning, disrupting daily life.
Tahmina Nasrin, an observer at the Chuadanga first-class weather observatory, said that night and early-morning temperatures may fall further in the coming days.
At 9am, she said, the temperature along with 86 percent humidity in the air was recorded.
As the temperature is falling, low-income people are suffering from the cold for lack of sufficient warm clothes.
Although bright sunshine appeared after 9am, the chilly weather condition persisted as cold winds continued to sweep across the region.
Due to the intensified cold, the presence of general people in Chuadanga town in the morning was thin compared to earlier, as most people refrained from coming out of homes, if not necessary.
Low-income earners, particularly day-labourers, van- and rickshaw-pullers, were said to be the worst victims.
