A local warning signal No. 3 has been asked to be hoisted at all four seaports in Bangladesh as a low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal may intensify and bring gusty winds to coastal areas.

The Bangladesh Meteorological Department issued the warning on Monday, citing meteorologist Khandaker Hafizur Rahman.

According to the Met Office, the well-marked low-pressure area over the east-central Bay of Bengal and adjoining north Andaman Sea moved west-northwest and is now located over the west-central Bay and adjoining east-central Bay.

The system may move further west-northwest and intensify. Under its influence, gusty winds may sweep across the seaports, the north Bay and adjoining coastal areas of Bangladesh.

Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar, Mongla and Payra seaports have been asked to hoist local warning signal No. 3.

Fishing boats and trawlers in the north Bay have been advised to remain close to the coast and operate cautiously until further notice.
