Bay of Bengal Low-Pressure System Weakens, Coastal Showers Expected
A weather disturbance in the Bay of Bengal, which was initially a bit strong, has become weaker.
This means there's less chance of big storms or very heavy rain hitting the coastal areas.
The weather office said that while the immediate danger has lessened, they still want fishermen to stay away from certain parts of the sea near Bangladesh and Myanmar for a few days.
This weaker system is moving towards the coast of Bangladesh and Myanmar and won't affect the Bengal region as much anymore.
Some light rain might still occur in coastal areas.
A low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal has weakened into an ordinary low-pressure area.
The weakening system reduces the immediate risk of major cyclones or very heavy rainfall along coastal districts.
The system is moving north-northwestwards towards the Bangladesh-Myanmar coast.
Fishermen are advised not to venture into the northeast Bay of Bengal and adjacent seas off Bangladesh and Myanmar for the next few days.
The influence of the weather system over Bengal has diminished.
