DHAKA, July 1 (V7N) – The Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) has issued a weather alert warning of possible storms over eight regions of the country by early Tuesday afternoon.
According to the latest inland river port weather forecast issued by the BMD for the period up to 1:00 PM on Tuesday, temporary gusty or squally winds accompanied by rain or thundershowers may affect the regions of Jashore, Khulna, Barishal, Patuakhali, Noakhali, Cumilla, Chattogram, and Cox’s Bazar.
