Fog, clouds engulf Dhaka

Lack of rain, dust, fog and clouds in the sky together has engulfed Dhaka in an invisibility cloak and resulted in a gloomy weather that will pass in a day or two, says Bangladesh Meteorological Department.

“The sky is overcast today which explains the lack of sunlight and the gloomy day in Dhaka,” says Bazlur Rashid, a meteorologist at the met office.

Owing to the cloudy skies, the Met office is also expecting light rains in the Sylhet region.

Asked about whether this is ‘smog’ caused by fog and air pollutants in the capital, Bazlur Rashid said, “This is not smog. Rather lack of rains during winter, dust particles and fog result in such a phenomenon and will pass in a day or two as soon as the skies clear.”
