Straddling the Tropic of Cancer, Bangladesh has a tropical climate with the summer and monsoon being hot, long and humid, and the winter being short and not too severe.

However, on 8 January of 2018, the cold fangs of winter bit hard on Bangladesh as the temperature fell to 2.6 degrees centigrade. The nearly freezing temperature was recorded in Tentulia upazila in the northern district of Panchagarh - the lowest temperature in five decades.

Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) said the previous lowest temperature recorded 2.8 degrees centigrade in 1968 in the country's Srimangal area in Moulvibazar.
