The temperature in Panchagarh’s Tentulia has fallen to 7.3 degrees Celsius, marking the lowest recorded in Bangladesh this winter. Situated in northern Bangladesh near the Himalayan foothills, Tentulia is currently experiencing a moderate cold wave.
According to meteorological standards, a cold wave is categorized based on minimum temperature levels: a severe cold wave occurs when the temperature drops below 6 degrees Celsius, a moderate cold wave ranges between 6 and 8 degrees Celsius, and a mild cold wave falls between 8 and 10 degrees Celsius.
On Thursday at 9 a.m., the temperature in Tentulia stood at 9.5 degrees Celsius, indicating a significant drop as the day progressed.
Meteorologist Md Shahinul Islam said on Friday morning, “The lowest temperature in the country this season was recorded in Tentulia on Friday. There is no possibility of the temperature decreasing further [in Tentulia] for now.”
He said, “The night and day temperatures may increase slightly across the country over the next two days. Then the temperature may decrease again.”

Meanwhile, the Bangladesh Meteorological Department says that 10 districts across the country are seeing mild to moderate cold waves.
These districts are Rajshahi, Pabna, Naogaon, Dinajpur, Panchagarh, Jashore, Kushtia, Chuadanga, Gopalganj, and Moulvibazar.
The regular BMD bulletin says that the cold wave blowing in these areas may continue for a few more days.
The forecast also says that night temperatures may increase slightly in the Rangpur and Rajshahi divisions while remaining largely unchanged in other parts of the country.
The weather is expected to remain largely dry with temporary partly cloudy skies across the country in the 24 hours from 9am on Friday. There may be light to moderate fog at locations throughout the country from midnight to the morning.
Over the next 24 hours, the day temperature is expected to increase slightly across the country. The highest temperature recorded over the past 24 hours was 28.7 degrees Celsius in Teknaf.
