Chuadanga yesterday recorded a temperature of 39.8°C, the highest in the country this season. "The heat is being felt more as the humidity of the air is high.
A heatwave has been blowing over the district for the past few days," said Rakibul Hasan, the district's senior weather observer. He went on to say that the temperature may rise to 41°C within a week. Nasir Uddin, a resident, said, "It is becoming difficult to bear this heat.
I cannot go out after noon." Abdus Samad, a rickshaw puller, said, "If I don't work, I won't have enough money to buy food. But it's very difficult to pull a rickshaw in this heat while fasting.
" Meanwhile, the town's roads have been relatively empty due to the heat. Most people have not been venturing out unless necessary. However, daily wage workers, labourers, and small traders said they had no option but to work.
Hasan Ali, a vegetable vendor at Chuadanga market, said, "Fewer buyers are coming to the market. People are not going out in the scorching heat. We can't just sit at home.
