The low pressure created in the Bay of Bengal has already turned into a depression. It may develop into a cyclonic storm by today (Saturday) afternoon. It may then hit the southwest coast of Bangladesh.
On Saturday (May 25) morning, the meteorologist of the Department of Meteorology Bazlur Rashid told this information to media.
He said that depression could develop into a cyclonic storm by noon or afternoon. It is then likely to hit the Bangladesh coast on Sunday (May 26) evening. Heavy to very heavy rain may occur in different parts of the country including the coastal area because of the effect of cyclone.
Meanwhile, the Meteorological Office has said that rain with gusty winds may start in different parts of the country from Saturday night. Rain will increase from Sunday. Storm surges of 5 to 10 feet are likely.
At noon yesterday, the depression was centred at 805 km southwest of Chattogram Port, 740 km southwest of Cox's Bazar Port, 765 km south of Mongla Port, and 730 km south of Payra Port.
The depression was moving toward the coast at a speed of 16 km/h and is expected to develop into a cyclone today, according to Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD).
"It may cross the Bangladesh coast between Payra and Khepupara. However, it is difficult to predict its trajectory at this time because it has not yet turned into a cyclone," According to a meteorologist of BMD.
The cyclone is likely to hit the coast of Khulna and Patuakhali along with the Sundarbans of Bangladesh. Its speed can be 120 to 130 km per hour. Meteorologists say that Remal may become a severe cyclone. However, there is no danger of a 'super cyclone'.
If the speed of wind generated by a cyclone is 62 to 88 kilometers per hour, then it is called a 'cyclone or tropical cyclone'. If the speed is 89-117 km/h, it is called 'severe cyclone'. And if the wind speed is 118 to 219 kilometers per hour, then it is called a 'hurricane speed cyclone or very severe cyclone'. A speed of 220 kmph or more is called a 'super cyclone'.
