A gentle shift in weather patterns has begun to sweep across Gazipur, bringing an early hint of winter with light morning fog, dew-kissed grass, and cool late-night breezes despite the ongoing autumn season.
According to the Bangladesh Meteorological Department, the chill is expected to intensify across Dhaka, Gazipur, and surrounding regions starting in the first week of November. While daytime temperatures remain warm and sunny, night temperatures are projected to drop to between 23 and 24 degrees Celsius early next month, with winter severity expected to match typical patterns of 11 to 15 degrees Celsius during December and January.
Local farmers in Pubail have ramped up preparations for winter vegetable cultivation—including cabbage, radish, and gourd—hoping to capture early market demand. Meanwhile, commuters and garment workers in areas like Gazipur Chowrasta report turning off ceiling fans and using light blankets during the early morning hours.
Apparel vendors in metropolitan shopping centers have begun stocking up on jackets, sweaters, and blankets in anticipation of increased consumer demand next month.
In rural pockets across Sreepur, Kapasia, and Pubail, early morning mist has prompted long-distance transport operators to use fog lights on highways for safe navigation. Local health officials have advised children and the elderly to take extra precautions against seasonal ailments such as colds, coughs, and asthma as the weather transitions.
