A low-pressure area has formed over the southeastern Bay of Bengal and may gradually intensify into a depression and subsequently a cyclone, according to the Bangladesh Meteorological Department.
The possible cyclone’s track has not yet been determined. Preliminary observations suggest that the system may move towards the Andhra Pradesh and Odisha coasts of India.
The low-pressure area formed on Friday morning. Meteorologist Mohammad Omar Faruk said it could intensify into a depression and later develop into a cyclone.
He said its possible track would become clearer after it develops into a depression. Based on the available information, it currently appears likely to move towards the Andhra Pradesh and Odisha coasts.
Meanwhile, the weather department forecasts mainly dry weather across the country, with temporarily partly cloudy skies in places. Day and night temperatures are likely to remain nearly unchanged.
According to the department, Tetulia in Panchagarh recorded the country’s highest rainfall of 15.3mm in the 24 hours until 6 am Friday. The highest temperature during the period was 33.6°C, recorded in Ambagan, Chattogram.
