Within a radius of 54 km from the typhoon's center, the maximum sustained wind speed is around 62 kmph, with gusts or blasts reaching up to 88 kmph. The sea conditions remain very rough in the vicinity of the typhoon, as stated by the BMD.
The sea ports of Payra and Mongla have been advised to maintain a high danger signal of level seven until further notice. Similarly, the maritime ports of Cox's Bazar and Chattogram have been instructed to maintain a high danger signal of level six.
Under the peripheral influence of the cyclonic tempest, heavy rainfall (44-88 mm) to extremely heavy rainfall (≥89mm) accompanied by strong and gusty winds persists over the northern bay, offshore islands, estuaries, and coastal areas of Bangladesh.
According to the BMD, the low-lying areas in the coastal regions of Cox's Bazar, Chattogram, Noakhali, Laxmipur, Feni, Barguna, Bhola, Patuakhali, Bagherhat, Khulna, Satkhira, as well as their offshore islands and estuaries, are likely to be inundated by a wind-driven flood of 3-5 feet above the normal astronomical tide due to the peripheral effect of the typhoon and steep pressure gradient.
As a result of the typhoon, Dhaka, Khulna, Barishal, Chattogram, and Sylhet divisions are expected to experience heavy rainfall (44-88 mm) to extremely heavy rainfall (289 mm).
According to the BMD statement, landslides may occur in the hilly regions of Chattogram Division.
