Dew-drenched mornings signal winter's arrival in Lalmonirhat
According to data from the Rajarhat weather observation centre in neighbouring Kurigram, the morning temperature was around 28 degrees Celsius today.
A gentle chill is beginning to sweep across Lalmonirhat, heralding the arrival of winter as early-morning mist, cool breezes and dew-laden grass and paddy leaves create a refreshing seasonal charm.
The soft morning light, beads of dew glistening on grass and droplets of water clinging to paddy leaves are gradually adding a wintry feel to the landscape, even as the autumn season is still prevailing.
During a visit to different areas of the district around 7am today, the green fields were found covered with tiny drops of dew. Light mist made distant trees and roads appear hazy. As the gentle sunlight emerged, the mist slowly cleared, revealing the fresh, dew-covered landscape.
