, July 26 -- lying areas in Bangladesh's coastal districts are likely to be inundated by tidal surges, according to a bulletin issued by the Met Office.

The districts at risk include Satkhira, Khulna, Bagerhat, Jhalakathi, Pirojpur, Barishal, Barguna, Patuakhali, Bhola, Chandpur, Laxmipur, Noakhali, Feni, Chattogram, Cox's Bazar and their offshore islands and chars.

The Met Office said due to the influence of the new moon phase and a depression, low-lying areas in these districts and their adjoining offshore islands and chars may be inundated by wind-driven tidal surges of 1-3 feet above the normal astronomical tide.
