When and where will Cyclone 'Remal' hit ?
The low pressure in the Bay of Bengal has intensified into a depression. It may turn into a deep depression in the evening and take the form of a cyclone.
If it strengthens further into a cyclone then it will be named Cyclone Remal, according to the BMD.
Azizur Rahman, the director of the Meteorological Department said, 'If the cyclone turns into Remal, it is likely to hit Khepupara and Sundarbans areas of Patuakhali.'
The cyclone may hit the coast of the country on Sunday (May 26) morning. The cyclone is likely to cross the coast in the evening. But it all depends on the cyclone's speed.
If the depression turns into a cyclone, its center will directly hit Bangladesh. Its strength can increase as it comes closer to the coast. Power can be lost within four to six hours of crossing the coast.
