Weather experts said strong cyclones like Sidr, Aila, Yaas, mainly entered the coast through the southwestern part of the country. As a result, rain fell all over the country along with strong winds.
However, as Cyclone Mocha is passing by the Cox's Bazar coast of the country, its influence will gradually decrease from Dhaka to the northern regions of the country.
Due to the impact of the cyclone, rain and wind have already started blowing in various coastal districts including Cox's Bazar. The amount of rain may increase from morning onwards.
Met office said the cloud at the front of the cyclone has already spread over more than half of the country. As a result, the overall daytime temperature may decrease by 2 to 5 degrees Celsius on Sunday.
