The severe cyclonic storm Montha that swept across India’s Andhra Pradesh coast around midnight on October 28 weakened into a deep depression by early Wednesday.
According to the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD), the storm now lies over Andhra Pradesh and adjoining areas and is expected to move north-northwestwards while gradually losing strength.
Light to moderate rain or thundershowers are likely to occur at many places over Rangpur, Rajshahi, and Khulna divisions, and at a few places over Dhaka, Mymensingh, Barishal, Chattogram, and Sylhet divisions. Moderately heavy to heavy rainfall may occur in some areas of the country within the 24 hours commencing 9 am on Wednesday.
Day and night temperatures may fall slightly across the country, the Met office added.
