Light to moderate fog likely in Dhaka, daytime temperature to drop

The Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) has said that light to moderate fog may develop over Dhaka and its surrounding areas in the next few hours, with a slight drop in daytime temperature expected.

In its forecast issued from 7:00am on Tuesday (December 23) for the next six hours, the BMD said the sky may remain partly cloudy until noon, while weather conditions are likely to stay dry. During this period, light to moderate fog may occur in parts of the capital.

The forecast also said light winds from the north or northwest, blowing at 5–10 km per hour, may prevail, potentially lowering daytime temperatures and intensifying the winter chill.
