Cyclone Mocha: Maritime ports asked to hoist great danger signal 8

Staff Reporter:

Maritime ports of Cox’s Bazar, Chattogram and Payra have been advised to lower local warning signal number 4 and instead hoist great danger signal number 8, reports UNB.

The coastal districts of Cox’s Bazar, Chattogram, Feni, Noakhali, Laxmipur, Chandpur, Barishal, Bhola, Patuakhali, Jhalokathi, Pirojpur, Borguna and their offshore islands and chars will come under great danger signal number 8.

The Maritime port of Mongla has been advised to keep hoisted local warning signal number 4.
The very severe cyclonic storm Mocha in east central bay and adjoining area moved north-northeastwards over the same area and was centred at 06 pm today about 930 kms south-southwest of Chattogram port, 860 kms south-southwest of Cox’s Bazar port, 890 kms south-southwest of Mongla Port and 855 kms south¬ southwest of Payra port.

It is likely to intensify further, move in a north¬ northeasterly direction and may cross Cox’s Bazar-north Myanmar coast around 06 am to 06 pm of 14 may 2023.

Cox’s Bazar and adjoining coastal regions will experience the peripheral effect of the very severe cyclonic storm by the evening of 13 may 2023.

Maximum sustained wind speed within 74 km of the very severe cyclone centre is about 140 kph rising to 160 kph in gusts/squalls. Sea will remain very high near the storm centre.

Under the peripheral effect of the cyclone and steep pressure gradient, the low-lying areas of the coastal districts of Cox’s Bazar and Chattogram and their offshore islands and chars are likely to be inundated by the wind driven surge height of 08-12 feet above normal astronomical tide.
