Hint of early winter: Tetulia records lowest temperature

You may call it an indication of early winter in Panchagarh. The district's Tetulia upazila has recorded the lowest temperature at 19.7 degrees.

Tetulia, the last border town in Bangladesh's north, is no stranger to extreme cold. But this year, amid autumn, a dense fog covered this upazila from dawn till 8am today (October 14, 2022).

According to the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD), the minimum temperature was recorded at 19.7 degrees in Tetulia till 6am today (October 14, 2022).

Due to dense fog, various vehicles were seen plying on the roads of the upazila with their headlights on.

Locals said the weather had been warm during the daytime for the past few days. But after midnight, they felt mild cold as light fog covers the area.

After the intense heat, such foggy weather has brought some relief to the people of this upazila.

Russell Shah, the official in-charge of Tetulia Meteorological Observatory, said, "Temperature has started to fall here ahead of winter following rains over the last few days".

"Climate change may also be attributed to this onset of winter," he added.
