Impact on BD  limited to rain

The Bangladesh Meteorological Department says there is no likelihood of major storms or other disasters in the country due to Severe Cyclone Dana, which has started to weaken after making landfall in India's Odisha.

Though there may be some rain due to the impact of Dana, it will not be heavy, said Meteorologist Hafizur Rahman on Friday.

"The fear of storms has abated. There may be rain here and there across the country, with more in the western regions. But heavy rain is not likely," he said.
In a special bulletin, the BMD said that the severe cyclonic storm crossed the north Odisha coast around 3am and is likely to move west-northwest and weaken gradually.

At the time it made landfall at the Odisha and West Bengal coast, its maximum wind speed was up to 120 kmh. It has since calmed.    —bdnews24.com
