Dhaka, July 8 -- The water level of the Muhuri River in Feni district may reach the danger level within the next 24 hours, raising the risk of temporary flashfloods in adjacent low-lying areas, according to the latest forecast from the Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre (FFWC).

Due to the influence of a low-pressure system over the northwestern Bay of Bengal and adjoining coastal areas, heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely in the Muhuri basin over the next 24 hours.

This will be followed by moderate to moderately heavy rainfall over the next two days.

The FFWC said that water levels of the Feni, Muhuri, Halda, Sangu, and Matamuhuri rivers in Chattogram Division are currently rising and may continue to rise over the next 24 hours. ...
