The well-marked low-pressure area located in the Bay of Bengal has intensified into a depression before moving northwest and crossing the coast in India’s south Odisha. Under its influence, a steep pressure gradient is persisting over the north bay. The north bay, Bangladesh’s adjoining coastal areas, and its maritime posts may see gusty or squally weather. The maritime ports of Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar, Mongla, and Payra have been instructed to keep local cautionary signal No. All fishing boats and trawlers in the north bay have been advised to stay close to the coast and proceed with caution.
