Minimum temperature in Panchagarh is 15.5 degrees.

 Bangla Press  Desk : The chill of winter is gradually setting in across Panchagarh. The crisp, cool morning breeze and the cold nights signal the arrival of the winter season. During the day, however, the situation is quite different; once the sun rises, the intense sunlight brings a sense of warmth. This stark contrast—cold mornings and nights coupled with warm days—has created a unique and challenging experience for the district's residents.

On Monday (November 9) at 6:00 AM, the Tetulia Weather Observatory recorded a minimum temperature of 15.5°C, with humidity levels reaching 100 percent. The previous day, the district’s maximum temperature had reached 32°C.

Across various parts of the district, the chill is becoming more pronounced during the early morning and evening hours. In rural areas, in particular, dew is beginning to form on grass and leaves, and fog has been observed in some places. Many residents have started wearing warm clothing in the evenings, and households are bringing out quilts and blankets in preparation for the winter.

As the weather shifts, hospitals are seeing an influx of patients suffering from ailments such as colds, coughs, fevers, and various respiratory issues. According to the patients' families, these symptoms are particularly prevalent among children and the elderly. Patients are currently seeking treatment for these conditions at various healthcare facilities, including the Panchagarh Modern Sadar Hospital.

Asif Ali, a relative of a patient, noted that the cold has been more intense during the mornings and nights over the past few days. He mentioned that a child in his family developed a cold and cough; after an initial attempt to provide care at home, they decided to bring the child to the hospital.

Another individual, Habib Hasan, shared that while the days feel hot due to the sun, the mornings and nights remain cold. He explained that his body has struggled to adapt to these fluctuating weather conditions, and having suffered from a fever and cough for several days, he came to the hospital to seek medical advice.

Doctors emphasize that extra care should be taken for children and the elderly during this seasonal transition. To stay protected from the cold, it is essential to wear appropriate warm clothing, maintain cleanliness, and follow good personal hygiene practices. If symptoms such as fever, coughing, or respiratory distress arise, one should not ignore them but rather seek professional medical advice. Jitendranath Roy, the officer-in-charge of the Tetulia weather observation centre, stated that temperatures are gradually dropping. During this period, the chill is more pronounced at night and in the early morning. Temperatures may fall further in the coming days, and the feeling of cold is likely to intensify.
