Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) has predicted that the ongoing mild to moderate cold wave may abate in some places in the next 24 hours commencing on Thursday morning.

"Mild to moderate cold wave is sweeping over Rajshahi and Rangpur divisions and the districts of Tangail, Faridpur, Madaripur, Gopalgonj, Manikgonj, Jashore, Kushtia, Chuadanga, Barishal and Bhola and it may abate from some places," reports BSS citing a BMD bulletin.

Moderate to thick fog may occur over the river basins and adjoining area and light to moderate fog may occur elsewhere over the country from today midnight to tomorrow morning and it may continue till noon at some places, it added.

The weather may remain dry with a temporary partly cloudy sky over the country.

However, night temperature may rise by (1-2) degrees Celsius and day temperature may remain nearly unchanged over the country.

The country's maximum temperature on Wednesday was recorded 29.8 degrees Celsius at Teknaf, while the minimum temperature today was 6.3 degrees Celsius at Chuadanga.
