Daily Bangla Times: The northern district of Rajshahi on Saturday recorded the highest maximum temperature so far this season. The daily maximum temperature in the district was recorded 38°C at 3:00 pm on Saturday (April 8).

Abdus Salam, meteorologist at Rajshahi Meteorological Observatory, confirmed the information. He said, “On Friday (April 7), the maximum temperature in Rajshahi was recorded 37.5°C. Earlier, it was 36.8°C on Thursday (April 6).”

According to the Met Office, a mild heat wave is considered when the temperature is between 36°C and 38°C. And temperatures between 38°C and 40°C are considered moderate heat waves while the temperature rises above 40°C, it is a severe heat wave. Accordingly, a moderate heat wave is prevailing in Rajshahi now.
