The river ports of Khulna, Barishal, Patuakhali, Noakhali, Cumilla, Chattogram, and Cox’s Bazar have been instructed to raise cautionary signal number two, as heavy rain or thunderstorms accompanied by temporary squalls from the south or southeast are expected in the regions, according to a weather bulletin.
The meteorological release indicated that wind speeds could range between 45 to 60 kilometers per hour, posing risks of sudden gusts. Additionally, other areas of the country are likely to experience similar weather patterns, prompting those river ports to display cautionary signal number one.
In an earlier statement issued on Saturday, the Bangladesh Meteorological Department also advised the maritime ports of Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar, Mongla, and Payra to continue hoisting local cautionary signal number three. All fishing boats and trawlers operating over the North Bay have been warned to stay near the coast and exercise caution until further notice.
