Why Jashore-Chuadanga experiencing heatwaves?
Natore's Lalpur used to be the hottest place in Bangladesh. However, for the last dozen years, that place has been overtaken by Chuadanga district, located in the southwestern region of the country. Last Saturday, the mercury rose above 42 degrees Celsius in this district. It's not just this year; for the past 12 years, during the summer season, Chuadanga and its neighboring districts have been experiencing intense to extremely intense heatwaves. This region often experiences the highest temperatures in the country. With the onset of the month of Baishakh, the scorching heat begins to intensify in Chuadanga. It feels like being in a desert during midday. Not only Chuadanga, but its neighboring districts like Jessore, Kushtia, Meherpur, Jhenidah, and Khulna also face hotspots of heat during the summer.
