Heatwave to continue for few more days

There is no possibility of immediate relief from the sweltering summer heat as it may continue for two or three more days, said the Met Office.

Abdur Rahman Khan, a meteorologist at Bangladesh Meteorology Department, said a heat-wave is sweeping over the country and it may continue for two to three more days.

He, however, said light rains are likely to occur on Sunday or Monday.

The country's highest temperature of 38.2 degrees Celsius was recorded in Rajshahi on Tuesday, while it was 35.2 degrees in the capital, Abdur Rahman added, reprots UNB.

Now, people prefer staying indoors to avoid the sultry weather while the day-labourers and rickshaw-pullers are facing great difficulties in doing their work amid the scorching heat.
