Dhaka sizzles as people seek shade, water amid rising temperatures
A spell of intense heat has left life in the capital increasingly difficult, with temperatures hovering around 35 degrees Celsius and high humidity pushing the 'feels-like' temperature even higher.
Under the relentless sun, daily routines have turned into a challenge for city dwellers.
Commuters and pedestrians alike are seen stepping out with umbrellas and water bottles in hand, trying to shield themselves from the harsh conditions.
Many pause under trees, flyovers, or roadside shades, seeking brief moments of relief from the sweltering heat.
The combination of strong sunshine and stifling humidity has added to public discomfort, particularly for those who must spend long hours outdoors for work.
