Low pressure in the Bay of Bengal

Finally, a low pressure has formed in the Bay of Bengal. It is predicted that it will gradually gather strength and become a cyclone in the next few days. Low pressure is the initial stage of cyclone formation.

On the other hand, the country is now completely rainless. The temperature is increasing, mild to moderate heat waves are blowing in 43 districts of the country. In summer, public life is becoming miserable again. The Meteorological Department has predicted that the temperature may rise further on Monday (May 8).

Monday (May 8) in the morning weather forecast. Bajlur Rashid said, a low pressure has been created in the southeast Bay of Bengal and adjacent South Andaman Sea area. It can be condensed. An extension of the western low pressure is located over West Bengal and adjoining areas.

Due to various natural causes, a region of centrifugal wind or low pressure is formed in some part of the sea. Gradually this stormy area gathers energy (increasing wind speed) to become a clear low pressure, low pressure, deep depression and finally a cyclone. 

According to the Meteorological Department, the clear depression is the area of ​​gusty winds of 31 to 40 km per hour. A low pressure is a gusty area with wind speed of 41 to 50 km per hour. In case of deep depression, the wind speed is between 51 and 61 kmph. If the wind speed is between 62 and 88 km/h in a stormy area, it is called a cyclone.

If the low pressure gradually condenses into a cyclone, it will be called 'Mokha', the name given to it by Yemen. According to preliminary data from weather forecast models, 'Mokha' is going to be a strong cyclone. Meteorologists and meteorological experts also said that it is likely to hit the coast of Bangladesh and Myanmar.

It did not rain anywhere in the country in the last 24 hours from 6 am on Sunday to 6 am on Monday. On Sunday, the highest temperature in the country was 39.2 degrees Celsius in Chuadanga. The maximum temperature in Dhaka was 37.7 degrees Celsius.
