The depression area located in the Bay of Bengal has intensified into a clear low pressure area. It may further intensify and turn into a cyclone on Wednesday (October 23) or Thursday (October 24). Due to this, the Meteorological Department has forecast rain in all divisions of the country.
This was stated in the weather forecast for the next 72 hours on Monday (October 21).
It is said that rain/thunderstorm may occur in some places in the capital Dhaka, Khulna, Barishal and Rajshahi divisions and in one or two places in Rangpur, Mymensingh, Chattogram and Sylhet divisions.
The day temperature may decrease slightly across the country and the night temperature may increase by 1 to 2 degrees Celsius.
Meanwhile, a warning issued by the Meteorological Office on Monday (October 21) said that if the low pressure develops into a cyclone, it will be named 'Dana'. This name was given by Qatar.
The warning states that all fishing boats and trawlers in the North Bay of Bengal and deep sea have been asked to approach the coast with caution until further notice so that they can go to safe shelter at short notice.
According to the cyclone alert of the meteorological agency, a low pressure will form in the sea on October 23. It will turn into a strong cyclone by October 23 or 24.
If the cyclone hits any coast of Barishal and Khulna divisions, its speed may be 100-120 km per hour. If the cyclone hits the coast during high tide, there is a risk of flooding in the coastal areas of Satkhira, Khulna and Bagerhat districts with a tidal surge of 6 to 8 feet higher than normal.
On the other hand, if this cyclone hits Odisha in India, its speed may be 130-150 kilometers per hour. The West Bengal Meteorological Department said that the sea has already become rough in Odisha and West Midnapore. The Meteorological Department has predicted rain in several districts of South Bengal from Tuesday. The administration has banned fishermen from going to sea for three days from Wednesday. It is expected to intensify into a strong cyclone in the east-central Bay of Bengal on the 23rd. If this happens, several areas of South Bengal including Kolkata are expected to be flooded.
In addition, the West Bengal government has ordered people to be evacuated from coastal areas and low-lying areas to safer places.
