The country’s coastal areas may experience rainfall in next 72 hours from Friday due to impact of a well-marked low in the Bay of Bengal, an official of Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) said today.

However, the low is unlikely to intensify further, BMD Meteorologist Tariful Newaz Kabir said.

He added the day temperature in Bangladesh might increase during the period because of the well-marked low, which is likely to move towards the Tamil Nadu coast of India.

It now lies over southwest Bay and adjoining area after intensifying from a low pressure over central parts of south Bay and adjoining area, according to BMD’s weather bulletin in the morning.

In the bulletin, the met office forecast rainfall activities on both Friday and Saturday.

The met office also said that in the 24 hours commencing 9:00am tomorrow, light to moderate rain or thunder showers is likely to occur at one or two places over Dhaka, Khulna and Barishal divisions.

Weather may remain mainly dry with temporary partly cloudy sky elsewhere over the country, it said.
