As of March 12, 2025, no official reports indicate extreme ultraviolet (UV) levels or a red alert in Kerala’s Idukki district. Recent alerts issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) have been related to heavy rainfall rather than UV exposure.
In December 2024, IMD declared a red alert for Pathanamthitta, Ernakulam, and Idukki districts due to intense rainfall triggered by a low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal. Similarly, in May 2024, Kottayam, Pathanamthitta, and Idukki were placed under red alert as heavy downpours were expected due to multiple cyclonic circulations.
While Kerala, being close to the equator, naturally experiences high UV levels, no current warnings have been issued regarding extreme UV exposure. Residents are advised to refer to official sources like IMD and local health authorities for the latest updates on weather conditions and UV index levels.
