Monday, 16 July 2007


The well-marked low over northwest Bay and adjoining area moved slightly north-northwestwards and now lies over northwest Bay and adjoining area of Orissa-West Bengal coast, reports UNB.
It is likely to intensify further and move in a north or northwesterly direction, said a special bulletin of Met Office.
Under its influence steep pressure gradient persists over north Bay. Squally weather may affect the maritime ports.
Maritime ports of Chittagong, Cox's Bazar and Mongla have been advised to keep hoisted local cautionary signal number three.
All fishing boats and trawlers over north Bay and deep sea have been advised to remain in shelter until further notice.
