A low pressure area is very likely to form over the North Andaman Sea and adjoining East-central Bay of Bengal which may intensify into a cyclonic storm and hit the Khulna coastal region around May 26, Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) said in a forecast Thursday.
The cyclonic storm is likely to move northwestward after forming and reach near Orissa-West Bengal of India and Khulna coasts of Bangladesh.

Meanwhile, a mild to moderate heat wave is sweeping over Dhaka, Rajshahi, Khulna, and Barisal divisions and areas in Sitakunda, Chandpur, Noakhali, Feni, and Srimangal. It may continue, says the weather forecast commencing 6pm Thursday.
However, an extended outlook for five days following the probable three days of forming the low pressure area over the Bay of Bengal forecasts an increase in the rain/storm activity.
