The Bangladesh Meteorological Department has asked maritime ports across the country to hoist local cautionary signal No. 3 (R) as a low-pressure area has developed over the North Bay and adjoining coastal areas of West Bengal and Bangladesh.
The Met Office said the system could bring squally weather to the maritime ports of Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar, Mongla and Payra, as well as the North Bay and adjoining coastal areas of Bangladesh.
In a special bulletin, it advised all fishing boats and trawlers operating in the North Bay to stay close to the coast and navigate with caution until further notice.
