Kerala to Receive Isolated Rains for Three Days as Heavy Rainfall Eases

Following the weakening of the cyclonic circulation in the Arabian Sea, the heavy rains in Kerala have slightly eased. Over the next three days, the northern districts will experience intensified rain, while other areas will receive isolated showers. However, if the cyclonic circulation strengthens or additional rain clouds form over the Arabian Sea, heavy rains may resume. Additionally, high waves up to 1.5 meters are possible along the Kerala coast.

Due to these conditions, fishing along the Kerala coast is currently prohibited. Meanwhile, the depression formed in the Bay of Bengal has intensified into a severe depression and is expected to develop into a cyclonic storm named Rimal, a name suggested by Oman. This cyclone is anticipated to make landfall near Sagar Island off the Bangladesh-West Bengal coast by tomorrow midnight, with no expected impact on Kerala.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for several districts on Saturday, including Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Alappuzha, Ernakulam, Kozhikode, Kannur, and Kasaragod. Notably, the state has already recorded higher than average summer rainfall this year, with 360.8 mm from March 1 to May 31, surpassing the normal average of 359.1 mm.
