The Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) on Monday issued a detailed five-day weather forecast for the country, starting from 9:00 am. According to the forecast, overall temperatures are expected to remain largely stable, with only minor fluctuations in certain areas. While isolated light rainfall is possible in parts of the Rangpur division, most regions will experience dry conditions under partly cloudy skies.
During the night and early morning hours, light to moderate fog may form in some locations, particularly in the western and southeastern regions. Daytime temperatures are projected to remain steady, while night-time temperatures could see slight increases in select areas.
BMD’s five-day forecast indicates the following temperature changes and weather conditions:
| Day | Night Temperature Change | Day Temperature Change | Special Conditions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tuesday | Nearly unchanged | Nearly unchanged | Light fog |
| Wednesday | Slight increase | Nearly unchanged | Light rain in Rangpur |
| Thursday | Slight increase | Nearly unchanged | Persistent fog likely |
| Friday | Slight increase | Slight decrease | Partly cloudy |
| Saturday | Stable | Stable | Typical winter conditions |
The BMD further notes that no significant variations in temperature or weather patterns are expected over this period. However, the western and southeastern parts of the country may experience denser fog during night and early morning hours.
Seasonal meteorologists explain that the prevailing atmospheric conditions are influenced by a high-pressure system over West Bengal and neighbouring areas, combined with a seasonal low-pressure system over the southern Bay of Bengal extending towards the northeastern Bay. While this configuration may trigger minor localised weather instability, it is not expected to cause any severe disruptions.
In summary, Bangladesh’s winter weather is likely to remain stable throughout the week. Daytime temperatures will generally hold steady, night-time temperatures may rise slightly in isolated areas, and fog may form in selected locations. Although Rangpur could see light rainfall on Wednesday, no major meteorological disturbances are anticipated, ensuring a predominantly calm winter period across the country.
