The Meteorological Department has again issued a 24-hour 'heat alert' in the country. The heatwave warning has been issued for the next 24 hours from 6pm on Saturday (May 4).
Meanwhile, mild to moderate heat waves will continue over some other regions of the country including the capital Dhaka.
The warning message signed by meteorologist Khondkar Hafizur Rahman said that the mild to moderate heatwave over Dhaka, Rajshahi, Khulna and Barisal divisions may continue for the next 24 hours from 6 pm on Saturday. At the same time, uncomfortable conditions may also persist due to excess water vapor.
Day and night temperatures may remain almost unchanged across the country.
Earlier on April 19, the Meteorological Department issued a three-day heat alert for the first time due to severe heat wave across the country. Then it is increased in several steps.
