Thiruvananthapuram: A wet week awaits Kerala as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts continuous rainfall over the next six days, triggered by a depression and cyclonic circulation over the region. Isolated heavy showers are expected through Friday, prompting officials to urge public caution.
Yellow alerts have been sounded for Malappuram, Kozhikode, Kannur, and Kasaragod districts on Monday and Tuesday. By Wednesday, the warning zone expands to include Alappuzha, Ernakulam, and Thrissur, taking the total to seven districts — a status that remains through Thursday.
Heavy rainfall, as defined by the IMD, ranges between 64.5 mm and 115.5 mm in a 24-hour period. Residents are advised to follow disaster preparedness guidelines and stay tuned to official updates as the weather system evolves.
