Up to 6 cold waves to hit country in Dec

Bangladesh could experience four to six mild to moderate cold waves this winter, with the intensity of the cold expected to increase from December, according to the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD).

In its latest long-range forecast covering November through January, the weather office warned of several spells of cold waves across different parts of the country during the winter season. The forecast also indicated the possibility of dense fog, low-pressure systems and cyclones.

Although daytime temperatures have yet to drop significantly, cooler winds are already being felt in northern Bangladesh, where winter generally arrives earlier than in other parts of the country due to geographical factors.



Despite the relatively mild conditions at present, temperatures are expected to fall further from December, bringing more intense winter weather and several spells of cold waves across Bangladesh.
