DepressionThe depression in the Bay of Bengal has metamorphosed into powerful cyclone Titli. As a result, the sea is rough with four ports asked to show number 4 danger signal.

Meanwhile, all fish catching trawlers have been asked to stay in safety until further notice. On Wednesday morning, the cyclone was 945 km from Chattogram port, 900 from Cox’s Bazar, 815 from Mongla and 815 from Pyra.

Weather specialist, Hafizur Rahman, told Bangla Tribune, “Cox’s Bazar, Chattogram, Mongla and Pyra ports have been asked to replace number 2 signal with number 4.”

“At the centre of the cyclone, the wind is 90km reaching up to 110 km and the sea is rough.”

As a result of Titli, rain/heavy downpour with gusty wind accompanied by thunder may be experienced in Khulna, Barishal, many parts of Chattogram, some areas of Dhaka and Sylhet and several areas of Mymensigh and Rajshahi.
