The highest temperature of the country this year has been recorded at 42.2 degree Celsius in Chuadanga at 3:00pm on Saturday, said Rakibul Hasan, senior observer of Chuadanga First Class Weather Observatory.
The district recorded the highest temperature in the country for the 14th consecutive day today, he said.
Meanwhile, the ongoing heat wave has impacted public lives. The high temperature is causing problems for children and the elderly. Working and people with low incomes are more vulnerable to the scorching sun's sweaty temperatures.
Day labourers, rickshaw pullers, van drivers are not able to work, due to the intense heat. As a result, many people have been seen spending idle time. While for a living, many others had to go to work, ignoring the sun.
The temperature is expected to rise for the next three to four days and the lack of rainfall has begun to have an impact on the biodiversity.
