Despite a drizzling in the capital since Saturday morning, the western part of Dhaka division alongside Rangpur, Rajshahi and Khulna divisions may continue experiencing the prevailing heatwave for the next 48 hours.
The Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) issued the heat wave alert at 6 pm on Friday, saying that due to the increase of moisture incursion, the discomfort may continue.
Bangladesh has been witnessing a prolonged heatwave this year, mainly due to the global climate change issues.
