The Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre has warned that low-lying coastal areas may be inundated by tidal surges due to the combined effects of a depression over the Bay of Bengal and the new moon. Earlier in the day, a trough of low over the northern Bay of Bengal intensified and turned into a depression near the coastal areas of Bangladesh and West Bengal. Over the next three days, water levels in these rivers may increase. In particular, the Muhuri and Selonia rivers in the Feni district may rise above danger levels, potentially leading to flooding in the area. In Sylhet, the water levels of the Manu, Dhalai, and Khowai rivers are rising and may continue to do so over the next three days.
