The Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) has directed the maritime ports of Chattogram, Cox's Bazar, Mongla, and Payra to raise local cautionary signal No. 3 (R) due to a low-pressure area forming over the northwest Bay of Bengal and adjoining North Odisha-West Bengal coast. This action is taken to alert authorities and the public about potential hazardous weather conditions.
Impact on Maritime Operations
Under the influence of this low-pressure system, squally weather is expected to affect the maritime ports, the North Bay, and the adjoining coastal areas of Bangladesh. The BMD has also advised all fishing boats and trawlers operating in the North Bay to move closer to the coast and proceed with caution until further notice.
Precautionary Measures
Signal No. 3 indicates that a tropical cyclone may form and could potentially impact the region. This cautionary measure ensures that maritime operations are adjusted to minimize risks. The BMD continues to monitor the situation and will provide further updates as necessary.
