The possible increase in cyclone frequency in the Bay of Bengal‚ lying south of Bangladesh‚ due to climate change is looked at by analyzing the cyclone data for 119 yr. Both qualitative and quantitative discussions are made on cyclone intensity increase for a sea surface temperature rise of 2 and 4°C. Different scenarios of storm surges
