Maritime ports of Chittagong, Cox's Bazar, Mongla and Payra are advised to keep hoisted local cautionary signal no three as the low over the North Bay and adjoining area has intensified into a well-marked low over the same area.

Moderate to heavy rainfall, triggered by land depression over the Bay, is continuing throughout the country including capital Dhaka, disrupting normal life in the city and elsewhere in the country.

Barely an hour’s rain brings Dhaka to its knees thanks to the dysfunctional drainage system of the capital city. Majority of the rainfall came around noon, and continued up to 3:00pm.
