The Bangladesh Meteorological Department issued this warning on Friday evening (May 30), alerting the public to the potential impacts.
According to the bulletin, the land deep depression over Satkhira and surrounding areas has moved further north or northeast. It has gradually weakened into a land depression and then into a well-marked low over Sherpur and adjacent parts of Meghalaya.
