Bangladesh again closes schools nationwide due to heat wave -phys.org
Meteorologist Muhammad Abul Kalam Mallik told AFP on Sunday that Bangladesh had not seen such an intense heat wave since records began in 1948. "It is a record as far as the duration and the coverage area in the country are concerned," he said, adding that the searing temperatures were affecting about three-quarters of the country. "The trouble is, we will see more such severe heat waves in the future," he said.
