Winter
Bangladesh's coolest, clearest, most celebrated season
Crisp mornings, festive tables Widely regarded as the best season to visit
Where summer is defined by heat, winter is its cold-season counterpart—the fifth season on the Bangla calendar, spanning Paus and Magh, though its effects are felt from November right through February. January temperatures average somewhere between 11°C in the extreme northwest and northeast and a somewhat higher 20–21°C in the coastal region, with the extreme northwest going as low as 3-4°C in late December and early January. It is easily Bangladesh’s driest season, when only about 4 percent of yearly rain falls, with plenty of sunny days, clear sky, dry atmosphere, fog in the morning and very long nights due to the short days.
Winter is generally agreed to be the most delightful season in Bangladesh, and this can be clearly seen in markets, where an incredible array of vegetables and much appreciated fresh water fish koi, magur and shing are sold. The fields have marigold (ganda), sunflowers (suryamukhi), boroi (jujube) and orange trees with ripe fruits while the harvest of the juice from the date palms is going on and the juice is boiled and made into gur. However, the most crucial aspect of winter season is that it is pitha season and therefore one can find bhapa pitha, chitai pitha, patisapta and puli pitha.
