Despite the local administration's warning over cyclone Bulbul, people in Khulna were not going to shelter centres, said related sources.
On Saturday, overcast sky and light rainfall accompanied by slow wind prevailed over Khulan's Sharankhola and Morrelganj upazilas.
Bulbul, the cyclonic storm, is likely to hit Khulna coast at Saturday midnight after making landfall in India's West Bengal around 10pm, said the meteorological department.
