The maritime ports
of Chattogram, Cox's Bazar, Mongla and Payra have been asked to hoist at the
mast local cautionary signal No 3 to alert vessels of a possible squall.
The weather office's advisory for cautionary signal No 3 --
which means a depression has formed and may affect the port later -- comes in
the wake of the formation of a low-pressure area over the west-central Bay and
the adjoining Northwest Bay.
It is likely to intensify further, the Bangladesh
Meteorological Department (BMD) said in a special bulletin on Saturday morning.
Under its influence, a deep convection is taking place over
the North Bay and adjoining areas.
Squally weather may affect the maritime ports, the North Bay
and the adjoining coastal areas of Bangladesh.
All fishing boats and trawlers over the North Bay and deep
sea have been advised to remain closer to the coast and proceed with caution
till further notice, the bulletin said.
They have also been advised not to venture into the deep
sea.
