Dhaka stares down a fiery future, one choked by relentless heat. But there is hope.

A mild heat wave is sweeping over the regions of Rajshahi, Pabna, Dinajpur and Jashore and it may continue, said a Met Office bulletin.

Humidity and atmosphere together contribute for a cloud formation that has covered Dhaka city in gloom and haze throughout its landscape.

The “unusual” and unbearable spell of heat prevailing through Dhaka city is likely to come down by today, according to experts at the Met office.
