Agency Deep convective clouds over northeast Bay likely to generate squally winds prompted the weather office to advise the maritime ports to hoist local cautionary signal three, a weather bulletin issued Tuesday said.
"Due to deep convective clouds over the North Andaman Sea and northeast Bay, squally weather may affect the maritime ports," the bulletin said.
Maritime ports of Chittagong and Cox's Bazar have been asked to hoist local cautionary signal number three.
Golam Mostafa, duty officer at the meteorological office told bdnews24.com: "Squally winds are likely due to convective clouds over the North Andaman Sea and the northeast Bay of Bengal. The sea ports have been asked to hoist local cautionary signal three."
All fishing boats and trawlers over north Bay have been asked to stay close to the coast and proceed with caution until further notice, the bulletin said.
Abdur Rahman, another duty officer at the met office said, the mild heat wave blowing over Khulna and Rajshahi divisions is likely to continue.
