A low-pressure area near the Andaman and Nicobar Islands is likely to intensify into a cyclonic storm over the Bay of Bengal within the next few days, according to a forecast by the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD).
The low over the Andaman Sea and adjoining area moved west-northwestwards and intensified into a well-marked low and now lies over Southeast Bay and adjoining South Andaman Sea, said a BMD bulletin on Wednesday morning.
It is likely to intensify further, said the forecast.
According to the forecast, the weather may remain mainly dry with a temporary partly cloudy sky over the country from Wednesday to Friday.
Night temperature may fall on Wednesday slightly and day temperature may remain nearly unchanged over the country.
