Concan winter and cold current is flowing over the country. Especially in the northern and western districts, the force of winter has disrupted public life.
According to the latest forecast of the Meteorological Department, a mild cold front is moving over 9 districts of the country and the feeling of winter may be more pronounced in the next few days due to dense fog.
This information is given in the forecast for the next 120 hours from 6pm on Saturday (January 3).
Meteorological department said, mild cold current is flowing over Rajshahi, Pabna, Naogaon, Sirajganj, Nilphamari, Kurigram, Jessore, Chuadanga and Kushtia districts. This situation is likely to continue for now. As a result, the minimum temperature in these areas has dropped below 10 degrees Celsius.
Moderate to dense fog is forecast across the country from midnight to morning. In some places this fog can last till noon. The Met Office has warned that air traffic may be temporarily disrupted due to dense fog. Inland waterways may also be disrupted. Apart from this, road communication can be slow and dangerous due to reduced visibility.

The temperature will remain almost unchanged for the next two days, but the day temperature may drop slightly from January 5. However, the night temperature is likely to decrease slightly from January 6.
Due to less direct sunlight due to foggy weather, the temperature difference between day and night will decrease, which will increase the severity of winter across the country.
