A thick blanket of fog enveloped Dhaka on Thursday morning as a sign of the arrival of winter with reduced visibility and a dip in the temperature.
Dhaka’s lowest temperature was recorded at 14.8 degrees Celsius at 6am.
The fog, which began to settle in the early hours, reduced visibility in some areas.
Street vendors, rickshaw pullers and early-morning workers were wrapped in warm clothing, braving the chilly weather to continue their work.
Meanwhile, for some people, the fog added a touch of seasonal charm to the city’s otherwise bustling streets.
As Dhaka continues to experience winter’s grip, foggy mornings are likely to persist, affecting normal life but also signalling the arrival of the much-anticipated winter season in the city.
