Medium to severe cold wave may start flowing in the second week of this month, the Met department says.
Meteorologist Abul Kalam Mallik told on Monday evening that the night temperature may fall two to three degrees due to the rainfall continuing from Sunday night in various areas of the country under the influence of cyclonic storm Thane.
"January is considered the coldest month in Bangladesh. From the second week of January, there will be a second cold wave which will be medium to severe in nature," he said.
He said another cold wave may follow in mid-January. The rain may last until Tuesday afternoon, he added.
The Met department says the highest rainfall was recorded in Comilla's Maijdicourt, 5 millimeters, from Sunday evening to Monday evening.
The rainfall was 4 mms in Mymensingh, 3 in Jessore and Tangail, 2 in Dhak, Chuadanga, Sylhet and Satkhira and 1 in Shrimangal, Chandpur, Khulna, Mongla and Rajshahi.
The highest temperature in the country was 28 degrees Celsius in Cox's Bazar and the lowest 15 degrees in Dinajpur.
The severe cyclonic storm Thane moved westwards and crossed the coast of Tamil Nadu of India and now lies close to Puducherry. The cyclone is likely to move in a westerly direction and weaken gradually.
Maritime ports of Chittagong, Cox's Bazar and Mongla were advised to lower signals.
