A mild cold wave is sweeping over the districts of Naogaon and Panchagarh, which may subside. Night and day temperatures may rise slightly over the country, the met office said in a 24-hour weather forecast.

Besides, the met office also issued an alert saying the depression over southwest Bay and adjoining areas moved west-northwestwards and lay over the same area at 6am on Saturday.
It is likely to move west-southwestwards afterwards, the BMD said, asking all fishing boats and trawlers over north Bay and deep sea not to venture into the depression area.
