Maritime ports of Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar advised to hoist local cautionary signal No 3

The maritime ports of Chattogram and Cox’s Bazar have been advised to hoist local cautionary signal No. 3 as the low-pressure area over the east-central Bay and adjoining Myanmar coast persists.

It is likely to move north-northwestwards along the Myanmar-Bangladesh coasts, said a special bulletin of the Met Office.

Under its influence, deep convection is taking place over the northeast Bay. Gusty or squally weather may affect the maritime ports of Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar, the northeast Bay, and adjoining coastal areas of Bangladesh.

All fishing boats and trawlers over the northeast Bay have been advised to come close to the coast and proceed with caution until further notice.
