Temperature Drops to 16.1 Degrees in Panchagarh as Fog and Cold Wind Bring a Winter Feel

In Panchagarh, known as the daughter of the Himalayas, the temperature is gradually falling and the feeling of winter is growing. For the past few days the temperature had fluctuated between 17 and 20 degrees Celsius, but today it dropped into the 16s. The temperature fell by 0.9 degrees Celsius in a single day.

On Monday (October 26) at 9 am, the day's lowest temperature of 16.1 degrees Celsius was recorded at the Tentulia weather observation centre. The humidity in the air at the time was 90 percent.

Earlier, on Sunday at the same time, the day's lowest temperature was recorded at 17 degrees Celsius. The highest temperature that day was recorded at 31.9 degrees Celsius.

Local residents said the feeling of cold starts to increase after evening. In the early morning, fog together with a chilly wind makes the winter atmosphere clearer. However, when the sun rises during the day, the feeling of cold decreases.

Jitendranath Roy, the acting officer of the Tentulia weather observation centre, said the temperature has begun to fall gradually. The tendency for fog at night and in the early morning is also increasing. As the temperature stays comparatively higher during the day, it feels warm in the daytime and cold at night and in the early morning.

He also said the temperature may fall further in the coming days and the feeling of winter may increase.
