Low pressure at bay: Ports asked to raise cautionary signal 3

The maritime ports of Chattogram, Cox's Bazar, Mongla and Payra have been advised to hoist local cautionary signal 3 as low-pressure over the Bay of Bengal has intensified and turned into a well-marked low.

Bangladesh Meteorological Department, in a special weather bulletin yesterday,  said the low may intensify further. Under its influence, gusty or squally winds may blow over the north Bay and Bangladesh's coastal areas and sea ports.

Fishing boats and trawlers in the north Bay have been asked to come close to the coast and proceed with caution until further notice.
