Rise of temperature in the last two days only raised a false alarm about an early departure of the winter this year, as weather experts wouldn't agree to such presumption. Temperatures rose by 1-3 degree Celsius during night and 1-5 degrees during daytime above normal temperature in last two days. "It's true that temperature rose a bit but we will not say about early departure of winter," Met Office Director Samerandra Karmakar told UNB on Saturday. He said the temperature would fall after 3 to 4 days and the winter continue till the first week of February.

Meteorologist Sanaul Huq said temperature is likely to fall from tomorrow night.

Asked about the reason behind the erratic behaviour of the winter season, they said because of the presence of a low in the New Delhi-to-Bangladesh belt, wintry wind is being obstructed from the northwest direction.

Meanwhile, most people in Dhaka City were seen taking off their warm clothes for last few days due to rise in day temperature.
