According to Dhaka's Bangladesh Meteorological Department, "A mild to moderate cold wave is sweeping over Rangpur and Rajshahi divisions and the districts of Gopalganj, Kishoreganj, Moulvibazar, Jashore, Kushtia, and Chuadanga and it may continue."

Moderate to thick fog may occur at places over the river basins and light to moderate fog at places elsewhere over the country during midnight to morning. Inland river transport may be disrupted due to thick fog.

Weather may remain dry with temporary partly cloudy sky over the country.
