A summary of the recent weather conditions in Dhaka is presented below:

According to BMD experts, the next 24 hours are likely to feature unsettled skies across Dhaka and other districts within the Dhaka Division, although the probability of rainfall remains very low. The combination of light fog and cloud cover may reduce visibility during the night and early morning, particularly outside the city, prompting officials to advise motorists to exercise caution.

Government meteorological data further indicates that today’s weather in Dhaka will be primarily dry with mild cold. While daytime temperatures are expected to remain stable, humidity levels may rise at night, potentially creating a slightly cooler sensation. Residents are advised to plan outdoor activities accordingly and remain mindful of visibility conditions on roads during the early hours.
