Bangladesh's coastal belt faces gusty winds and the threat of heavy rain and landslides, according to a BBC weather warning published on Tuesday, 29 September 2026. The BBC reports that a deep low-pressure system is driving the unsettled conditions.
Separate reports say a three-number warning signal has been hoisted at the sea ports of Chittagong and Cox's Bazar. The Daily Ittefaq reports the signal covers the risk of squally weather along the coastal belt, while the Daily Star Bangla attributes the system to land depression over Myanmar. First Alo also links the signal to the deep depression's effects.
The signal level indicates caution rather than the highest danger, but it applies to two of the country's main maritime hubs. The BBC's warning extends beyond the coast, flagging the possibility of landslides — a recurring hazard in Bangladesh's hilly and rain-saturated areas.
Forecasters are also tracking conditions across the border. News18 Bangla has published an hourly outlook for West Bengal, including when rain is expected to reach Kolkata.
The picture is still developing, and the material available does not specify rainfall totals, affected districts or how long the warning will remain in force. Readers on the coast should follow updates from the Bangladesh Meteorological Department and local authorities. The next thing to watch is whether the depression intensifies further or the warning signal is raised.
