UNB, Dhaka :
The maritime ports of Chittagong, Cox’s Bazar, Mongla and Payra have been advised to hoist distant cautionary signal No. 3 as a deep convection is moving over the north Bay.
The depression over the west-central Bay and adjoining area moved northwestward and now lies over the same area and it was centered at 6 am on Friday about 1085 kms southwest of Chittagong port, 1040 kms southwest of Cox’s Bazar port, 955 kms southwest of Mongla port and 955 kms southwest of Payra port.
It is likely to intensify further and move in a north-northwesterly direction, said a Met Office special bulletin.
Under its influence, deep convection is continuing over the North Bay.
Squally weather may affect the maritime ports and coastal areas of Bangladesh. Maximum sustained wind speed within 44 kms of the depression centre is about 40 kph rising to 50 kph in gusts/squalls. The sea will remain moderate near the depression centre.
All the fishing boats and trawlers over the North Bay have been advised to come close to the coast and proceed with caution till further notice. They have also been advised not to venture into the deep sea.
