Exceedance probability curves summarise information for gust
speeds up to 80 m/s (155 kts) for 18 of the most populated
towns and cities in Bangladesh (grey lines) with 4 key cities
highlighted. The min and max range of exceedance
probabilities (across all of Bangladesh) are represented by the
dashed lines.
Coastal cities of Cox's Bazar and Chittagong are unsurprisingly
the most exposed population centres to high gust speeds.
Chittagong and Cox's Bazar are roughly x2.5 and x4.8 more
likely to experience tropical cyclones exceeding Very Severe
cyclonic storm conditions than Dhaka, for a landfalling cyclone.
