The Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) has asked the maritime ports to hoist local cautionary signal no. 3 as deep convection is taking place over North Bay of Bengal and adjoining coastal areas under the influence of a low.

Squally weather is likely to affect the ports, North Bay and adjoining coastal areas, the BMD said on Sunday.        

The low is unlikely to turn into a cyclonic storm, reports bdnews24.com quoting meteorologist Md Shahinul Islam.

There would be rainfall in parts of the country but the trend would subside within a day or two as monsoon is ending, he said.

Dhaka city recorded 15 millimetre rainfall from 12pm to 6pm. The highest rainfall in the 24 hours before 6pm was 70 millimetre in Netrakona.

Rain or thundershowers accompanied by temporary gusty wind is likely to occur at most places over Barishal, Chattogram and Sylhet divisions, at a few places over Khulna, Dhaka and Mymensingh divisions and at one or two places over Rajshahi and Rangpur divisions.

Night temperature may fall slightly and day temperature may remain nearly unchanged over the country.
