Winter in Bangladesh is short, but it catches many homes off guard. Our houses are built to stay cool: tiled floors, thin walls and windows that let in the cold. When a cold wave hits in December or January, bedrooms feel freezing, bath water is icy and the gas flame gets weak.
Last winter, the Met Office forecast about 10 cold waves between November and January, a few of them severe. This winter’s long range forecast usually comes out in early November. At the same time, Dhaka’s air turns smoggy, house fires peak, and this year the gas shortage and load shedding are adding to the stress.
This checklist covers the 12 home essentials that make winter safer and more comfortable, grouped by need. Most of them come from our detailed buying guides, so you can dig deeper on anything you need.
