Dhaka, Nov. 25 -- A low-pressure area has formed over the southwest Bay of Bengal and the adjoining Sri Lanka coast, with forecasts saying it may intensify further.

The Bangladesh Meteorological Department issued a special weather bulletin on Tuesday, asking fishing boats and trawlers not to venture into the deep sea until further notice.

Another low-pressure system that formed over the south Andaman Sea and adjoining areas has intensified into a depression over the Strait of Malacca, the weather bulletin said.

The depression is likely to move in a west-northwesterly direction and intensify further, said Meteorologist Hafizur Rahman.
