DHAKA, July 3, 2019 (BSS) – Maritime ports of Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar,
Mongla and Payra have been advised to keep hoisted local cautionary signal
number three as steep pressure gradient persists over North Bay and adjoining
coastal areas due to the influence of well-marked low there.

“Squally weather is likely to affect the maritime ports, North Bay and
adjoining areas due to the influence of well-marked low. So, maritime ports
are advised to keep hoisted local cautionary signal number three,” said a met
office weather bulletin today.

All fishing boats and trawlers over North Bay have been advised to remain
close to the coast and proceed with caution till further notice.

The axis of monsoon trough runs through Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, centre of the
well-marked low, thence northeastwards to Assam across southern part of
Bangladesh. Monsoon is active over Bangladesh and strong over North Bay.

Light to moderate rain/thunder showers accompanied by temporary
gusty/squally wind is likely to occur at most places over Khulna, Barishal
and Chattogram divisions and at many places over Dhaka, Mymensingh, Rajshahi,
Rangpur and Sylhet divisions with moderately heavy to heavy falls at places
over southern part of Bangladesh.

Day and night temperature may fall by 1-2oC over the country.
