The High Court has ordered the closure of primary and secondary schools and madrassas till 2 May due to the ongoing severe heat wave sweeping over the country.
An HC bench of Justice KM Kamrul Quader and Justice Khizir Hayat gave this order on Monday (29 April).
Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) said two places in the Chattogram and Sylhet divisions may experience temporary rain with gusty wind or rain with thunder.
Along with that, there may be scattered hailstorms in some places in those two regions.
Elsewhere in the country, the weather will remain mainly dry with a partly cloudy sky.
The forecast also states that a very intense heat wave is flowing over Jashore and Rajshahi districts.
Besides, an intense heat wave is flowing over the Khulna division along with Tangail, Faridpur, Gopalganj, Naogaon, Pabna and Nilphamari districts.
A mild to moderate heatwave is passing through Dhaka, Mymensingh, Moulvibazar, Rangamati, Chandpur, Noakhali, Feni and Bandarban districts.
During this time the day temperature may increase slightly and the night temperature may remain almost unchanged across the country.
Besides, there may be discomfort due to excess water vapour.
