The lowest temperature in this year has been recorded at 5.7 degree Celsius in Tetulia upazila of Panchagarh district on Thursday morning.
`It is the lowest temperature recorded in this year,` said, Rahidul Islam, officer in charge of Tetulia Weather Observation Centre of Bangladesh Meteorological Department.
He said that, presently the sky is almost free from cloud; the cold wind from Himalayan side is sweeping easily across the northern region.
In Dhaka, the mercury was 12.5 degree Celsius at
the same time. The abnormal cold weather disrupted normal life. The poorer people of the area are passing hard time due to the cold wave.
Earlier on January 8 last year, mercury fell to 2.6C in Tetulia, the lowest-ever recorded temperature in Bangladesh`s history.
Different areas of the country, especially Dhaka, Khulna, Barishal and Chattogram, might witness a light drizzle. The temperatures in these regions might drop further as a result. But, it might not lead to a cold wave, said Meteorologist Arif Hossain.
He said, it may bring more low temperature in those areas.
