As per Skymet Weather, this deep depression has been moving west-northwest direction and is presently seen over Gangetic West Bengal and adjoining Jharkhand and Bihar. Hence, with the system drifting away, there will be significant reduction in the rain intensity over most parts of Bangladesh. Hence, scattered light rain and thundershowers with one or two moderate spells is likely over Bangladesh for the next two to three days.
