Experts said the heatwaves would likely escalate in the coming years due to erratic rainfall and high temperatures, posing a threat to Bangladesh, one of the biggest victims of global warming. Bangladesh's capital Dhaka experienced 40.6 degrees Celsius on April 16 last year, the highest in the ...
We illustrate this approach through a case study on heat waves in Bangladesh, but draw wider conclusions that are applicable to climate services development more broadly.The simulation of heat waves in Bangladesh is evaluated in several climate models, focusing on timescales relevant to the long-...
One of the direct and unavoidable consequences of global warming-induced rising temperatures is the more recurrent and severe heatwaves. In recent years, even countries like Malaysia seldom had some mild to severe heatwaves. As the Earth's average temperature continues to rise, heatwaves in Malays...

Northwestern Bangladesh is an area of this nature, consisting of two administrative divisions: Rajshahi and Rangpur, with significant impacts of thunderstorms, floods, cold and heatwaves, drought, heat stress, erosion of the river banks, water shortage and decreased river flow in the dry season, ...
In the post-monsoon season and winter, PER is the most important variable followed by RH. The occurrence frequency of heat waves in Dhaka shows a statistically significant increasing trend in the monsoon season (5.8 days per decade). It is found that heat waves in Bangladesh are associated ...
Because of increasing moisture incursions, experts said the discomfort may increase in Bangladesh, which sits on a massive river delta. In recent years, natural disasters such as floods and heat waves induced by extreme weather owing to c...
