As severe cyclonic storm Mocha is heading towards Myanmar, now risk for Bangladesh has reduced, said BMD director Mohammad Azizur Rahman.
The sever storm is crossing Sittwe region of southern Myanmar, 50-60 km away from Teknaf, he said at 12 noon on Sunday.
"Myanmar and its southern region areas are expected to be at greater risk."
Drizzling, accompanied by a gusty wind, has started in St Martin's Island and nearby Teknaf upazila of Cox's Bazar soon after the cyclonic storm Mocha started crossing Bangladesh's coast.
