The Meteorological Department has issued local cautionary signal 3 for four maritime ports—Chittagong, Cox’s Bazar, Mongla, and Payra—due to a low-pressure system over the West Central Bay of Bengal and the adjoining Northwest Bay of Bengal.
As a result, deep convective clouds are forming over the northern Bay of Bengal and coastal regions of Bangladesh, which may cause gusty winds to sweep over the coastal areas, the North Bay of Bengal, and the seaports.
Assistant Meteorologist Abdul Hannan of the Cox’s Bazar Meteorological Department confirmed this on Tuesday afternoon (September 24).
Moreover, fishing boats and trawlers currently in the North Bay of Bengal have been advised to approach the coast and remain vigilant until further notice cautiously.
