The three maritime ports of the country -- Chittagong, Cox's Bazar and Mongla -- have been advised to hoist cautionary signal number 2 as a deep depression over southeast Bay and adjoining areas has intensified into a cyclonic storm 'Thane'.
The cyclonic storm over southeast Bay and its adjoining areas moved slightly northwestwards and lay over the same area on Tuesday.
A Met office weather bulletin said at on Tuesday noon it was centred about 1,260 km south-southwest of Chittagong port, 1,180 km south-southwest of Cox's Bazar port, and 1,185 km south of Mongla port.
It is likely to intensify further and move in a northwesterly direction. Maximum sustained wind speed within 54 km of the storm centre is about 60 kmph (km per hour), rising to 70 kmph in gusts or squalls. Sea will remain rough, the Met office predicted.
All fishing boats and trawlers over the North Bay have been advised to remain close to the coast and proceed with caution until further notice. They are also advised not to venture into deep sea.
