Under the peripheral influence of cyclone "Mora", gusty and squally wind with rain and thunder showers is likely to affect North Bay, adjoining coastal area of Bangladesh and the maritime ports commencing from May 29 afternoon.
Cyclone Mora struck the island of Saint Martin and Teknaf in the coastal district of Cox's Bazar, where some 200,000 people were evacuated to shelters.
All flights to and from Chittagong global airport and Cox's Bazar airport were suspended.
Around 33,000 Rohingya refugees, who live in two camps in Bangladesh bordering Myanmar in the southeast where the cyclone had made landfall, were among the worst affected.
The port city of Chittagong experienced the maximum gust of wind with 135 kilometers per hour when it hit the district at around 10 am.
He continued, "Heavy rainfall is likely".
Massive evacuation is underway in Bangladesh as severe cyclonic storm "Mora" hit Chittagong on 30 may. "There may be some flash flood over those regions too".
