Double misery: Cold wave, heavy rain disrupt life in Chuadanga

The district witnessed heavy rains this morning, which lasted for approximately two and a half hours, exacerbating the impact of the cold wave and paralyzing normal activities.
Tahmina Nasrin Anny, a first-class officer at the Chuadanga Observatory Center, reported that the temperature dropped to 11.5 degrees Celsius between 6 am and 9 am, with humidity levels reaching 92 percent.
The rainfall began around 5:45 am and continued until about 8:10 am, with a total of 19.4 mm recorded during this period. The adverse weather led to a noticeable decrease in outdoor activities, as many residents chose to stay indoors rather than face the inclement conditions.
The situation was particularly challenging for daily wage laborers like Abdul Majid, who expressed distress over the lack of job opportunities due to the weather. Additionally, workers faced difficulties commuting to their workplaces amid the rain.
This unusual combination of cold wave and heavy rainfall has brought unexpected challenges to the people of Chuadanga, impacting their livelihoods and daily routines, reports UNB.
