The met office today expressed fear that the country’s highest temperature could break all time record next month after witnessing the longest duration of a heatwave covering all corners of Bangladesh.
“Our mathematical model analysis suggests despite some expected rainfall in parts of the country in the first week of the coming month, the country may witness the all time record temperature in May,” meteorologist Kazi Zebunnesa told BSS.
She said the northeastern Sylhet region, parts of central Bangladesh and southeastern Chattogram region was likely to witness some welcome shower but it would unlikely reduce the much expected heatwave throughout the country.
The country witnessed the longest duration of the heatwave for the past 25 days since April 1 and the met office warned the phenomenon would continue throughout the next month.
“But unlike the previous heatwaves, this year it spread all over the country,” commented meteorologist Abul Kalam Mollik, who was supported by Zebunnesa as well.বিস্তারিত
