Cooler nights soon

The nights are going to be cool within five days in the country, and the countdown has begun from 6pm yesterday, said the meteorological department. The countdown to winter, however, would not begin before November 15. A meteorologist at the Dhaka Met Office yesterday said a sprinkling of rain at a few places over the Barisal and Chittagong divisions, and at one or two places in Khulna, Dhaka, Rajshahi and Sylhet divisions today, may see the nights become cooler, particularly in the northern region, in the early hours.
As the high of the sub-continental ridge, which usually users in the cool, dry winds, have extended up to Bihar and adjoining West Bengal states of India from yesterday, the north-western, north-eastern and south-western districts of Bangladesh bordering West Bengal saw their minimum temperatures falling to the early twenties.
The country’s lowest minimum temperature of 19.6 degrees Celsius was recorded in Jessore yesterday. It was followed by 21 degrees C at Srimangal and Mymensingh, 21.1 degrees C at Rajshahi, 21.2 degrees C at Ishurdi and Chuadanga, 21.4 degrees C at Dinajpur and Sayedpur and 21.5 degrees C at Bogra.
In the capital Dhaka, it was 22.3 degrees C; the maximum temperature was 31.1 degrees C. The country’s highest temperature (maximum) of 32.5 degrees Celsius was recorded in Sylhet, which also recorded a minimum of 21.8 degrees C.
Officially, the met office is yet to say the rains would usher in winter. That would be counted from mid-November, when nights will become cooler.
Officially, the countdown to winter in the country begins from late December, ending in mid-February. But climate change has already begun to disrupt the meteorological calendar.
