Maritime ports of Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar, Mongla, and Payra have been advised to lower the cautionary signal as squally weather is unlikely over the ports, the weather department said on Sunday, reports UNB.
Squally weather is also unlikely over the North Bay and adjoining coastal areas of Bangladesh.
However, all fishing boats and trawlers in the North Bay and the deep sea have been advised to proceed with caution till Sunday evening.
On Saturday, the deep depression over the northeast Bay and adjoining Bangladesh-West Bengal coast moved west northwestwards and crossed West Bengal and adjoining North Odisha coast.
It was likely to move northwestwards further and weaken gradually, said Bangladesh Metrological Department.
