A low-pressure area has formed over the North Bay and adjoining West Bengal-Bangladesh coastal region, prompting the maritime ports of Chattogram, Cox's Bazar, Mongla and Payra to hoist local cautionary signal number three as squally weather is likely over the area. 

According to a special weather bulletin issued by the Bangladesh Meteorological Department today, the low-pressure area is likely to intensify and may cause squally weather over the maritime ports, the North Bay and adjoining coastal areas of Bangladesh.

All fishing boats and trawlers operating over the North Bay have been advised to come close to the coast and proceed with caution until further notice.
