The current cold wave sweeping parts of the country will continue for two to three more days, according to Bangladesh Metrological Department.

Bangladesh is experiencing an intensified cold spell, with dense fog and chilly winds affecting daily life across the country.

Shahanaz Sultana, a meteorologist at the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD), said the cold wave is expected to last until December 30–31, after which temperatures may rise slightly.

Another drop in temperature is likely around January 6–7, she said.

The cold wave intensified on Sunday, with the lowest temperature recorded at 9.8°C in Nikli, Kishoreganj, and the highest at 28.6°C in Teknaf.

In Dhaka, the minimum temperature fell to 14.3°C, while the maximum reached 17.6°C

 Dense fog and cold winds throughout the day added to the discomfort for city residents.

The Meteorological Department forecast partly cloudy sky with generally dry weather over the next 120 hours.

Moderate to dense fog is expected in some areas from midnight to morning, potentially continuing into the afternoon in certain regions.

The department also warned that thick fog may temporarily disrupt air travel, inland water transport, and road traffic.

For Monday, partly cloudy sky and generally dry weather are expected, with moderate fog possible in northern and river basin areas during the early hours.

Night temperatures may fall slightly, while daytime temperatures are likely to remain nearly unchanged.
