Dinajpur trembling in the cold, possibility of rain

Dinajpur has been in the grip of cold wave since the beginning of Magh. Apart from Dinajpur, the mild cold wave is prevailing in several areas including Panchagarh and Kurigram. Due to the dense fog with freezing wind, the vehicles are moving with their headlights on even during the day.

The district recorded lowest temperature of 9.7 degrees Celsius at 6 am on Wednesday (January 19). At that time, the humidity was 99 percent and the speed was 8 to 10 kilometers per hour.

Officer-in-Charge Tofazzal Hossain of Dinajpur Meteorological Office said that the country's minimum temperature was recorded at 9.7 degrees Celsius in Dinajpur at 8 am today. The onset of winter will continue for several days. However, the winter is being felt more due to extra fog and cool winds from the Himalayas coming from the north-western region. It is likely to rain again in Dinajpur in the last week of January.
