Dear Sir
As a mild heat wave sweeps across eight divisions in Bangladesh, including Rangpur, Rajshahi, Mymensingh, Dhaka, Khulna, Barishal, and Sylhet, residents are urged to remain careful. With temperatures soaring and a record maximum of 38.03 degrees Celsius in Sylhet, it is essential to take precautions against heat-related health issues.
The Bangladesh Meteorological Department has forecast light to moderate rain and potential thunderstorms in several regions, particularly Khulna, Barishal, and Chattogram. However, the monsoon remains weak, and a low-pressure area is expected to form over the North Bay in the coming days, potentially affecting weather patterns.
Residents should stay informed about changing weather conditions and remain hydrated. It's crucial to seek shade during peak hours and be cautious of sudden gusts of wind that may accompany thunderstorms.
As we navigate this heat wave, community awareness and preparedness are key to ensuring safety. Local authorities and health organizations should continue to disseminate information on managing heat exposure and responding to severe weather. Together, we can mitigate the impact of these climatic challenges and protect our communities.
