Cox’s Bazar recorded 34 millimetres of rainfall in the 24 hours to Wednesday morning, with light to moderate rain likely to continue over the next two to three days, according to the local meteorological office.
Officials also said a low-pressure area could form over the Bay of Bengal within the next three to four days, which may lead to increased rainfall across the coastal district.
Assistant Meteorologist Md Abdul Hannan of the Cox’s Bazar Meteorological Office confirmed the information on Wednesday.
He said 34mm of rainfall had been recorded in the district over the past 24 hours.
‘As the monsoon remains active, light to moderate rainfall is likely over the next two to three days. The sky is also expected to remain mostly cloudy during this period,’ he said.
He added that a low-pressure area was likely to develop over the north Bay of Bengal and adjoining areas within the next three to four days.
‘If the system forms, it could increase rainfall over Cox’s Bazar and other coastal areas. However, its track and overall impact will become clearer after further meteorological observations,’ he said.
