Sylhet Records Day's Highest Temperature of 36 Degrees Celsius as Heat Lingers Late in October
Sylhet has recorded a daytime highest temperature of 36 degrees Celsius. Even in the last week of October, the lingering heat in the divisional city has become a talking point among local residents.
At this time of year Sylhet's weather would normally be turning milder, but this year daytime temperatures have remained notably high, according to local reporting. The figure of 36 degrees Celsius was reported as the day's highest temperature.
Under the strong sun and heat during the day, people moving through the city's streets — especially day labourers and rickshaw pullers — have faced added hardship. For those who must go out for work, the heat has meant extra suffering.
Similar hot weather has also been reported from Sylhet Division's other districts — Moulvibazar, Habiganj and Sunamganj — although specific temperature figures for those areas were not available in this report.
The weather picture comes at a time when the effects of the changing season are being discussed in different parts of the country. Temperatures staying this high in late October has struck many people as unusual.
Health specialists generally advise drinking enough water during such hot spells, avoiding the harsh midday sun, and taking special care of children and the elderly.
Local residents are now watching to see whether Sylhet's temperature will fall in the coming days. Further updates will clarify how the weather situation develops.
