Meteorologist Md. Abdur Rahman Khan said, "These two cold spells will happen after January 12. The temperature will rise till January 12. That means winter will not fall that way. The temperature that is there now at night will rise further. It will not be severely cold, people will feel hot in some places. The temperature will start to decrease after the 12th. There could be a severe cold wave at any time after the second week."
