Bay of Bengal Low-Pressure System May Bring Rain to Western Bangladesh
What happened
A low-pressure system over the east-central Bay of Bengal has intensified into a well-marked low-pressure area, according to the Bangladesh Meteorological Department. The system is expected to move west-northwest and may intensify into a cyclone around October 27 or 28. While the system is more likely to move toward the coast of India's Andhra Pradesh, it could bring rain to western divisions of Bangladesh, including Rangpur, Rajshahi, and Khulna.
