Low pressure forms over the sea, cautionary signal three at two ports

A low pressure area has formed over the Bay of Bengal, prompting the authorities to hoist local cautionary signal 3 at Chattogram and Cox's Bazar maritime ports, reports BSS.

The low-pressure area developed over East-central Bay and adjoining Myanmar coast persists. It is likely to move north-northwestwards along Myanmar-Bangladesh coasts, according to a special weather bulletin issued by the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) today.

Under its influence, the bulletin said, deep convection is taking places over Northeast Bay.

Gusty or squally weather may affect the maritime ports of Chattogram, Cox's Bazar, the Northeast Bay and adjoining coastal areas of Bangladesh.
