অতি প্রবল ঘূর্ণিঝড়ে রূপ নিয়েছে ‘অর্ণব’, চার সমুদ্রবন্দরে ৩ নম্বর সতর্ক সংকেত

Cyclone Arnab, which the Bangladesh Meteorological Department said had intensified into a very severe cyclone, was located in the west-central Bay of Bengal at 3am on Tuesday, 27 October, 990 km south-west of Chittagong port, 945 km south-west of Cox's Bazar, and 865 km south of Mongla and Payra ports. The department said it could cross the Andhra Pradesh coast in India on Wednesday, 28 October, with sustained winds of up to 118 km/h within 64 km of the centre and gusts up to 150 km/h. Chittagong, Cox's Bazar, Mongla and Payra ports were told to hoist local danger signal No. 3, and fishing boats and trawlers in the north Bay of Bengal were advised to stay near the coast. Indian authorities said shelters were ready and evacuations arranged if needed. Bangladesh forecasters said the cyclone was unlikely to have much impact on Bangladesh, though rain was forecast in coastal areas and parts of several divisions.

Where accounts differ. Amar Desh says the cyclone could hit land with sustained winds of 115-125 km/h and gusts up to 140 km/h, while Bangla Edition and ETV give only the 118 km/h and 150 km/h figures, and only ETV mentions the lowering of signal No. 2.
