It is likely to intensify further, said a special bulletin of the Met office.

Under its influence, squally weather may affect the Chattogram, Cox's Bazar, Mongla, and Payra ports, North Bay and adjoining coastal areas of Bangladesh.

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