Kerala is expected to experience heavy rainfall over the next three days due to an active low-pressure system extending from South Karnataka to the Gulf of Mannar. This weather pattern is causing widespread rain in both central and southern districts, with northern hilly regions also expected to receive showers.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for nine districts, including Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Pathanamthitta, Idukki, Ernakulam, Thrissur, Kozhikode, Wayanad, and Kannur. These regions are likely to face heavy downpours, with potential for the weather conditions to worsen if the cyclonic circulation near Sri Lanka strengthens further in the coming days.
In response to the weather warnings, authorities have prohibited fishing along the Kerala and Lakshadweep coasts. Fishermen have been advised to stay off the waters, as the possibility of high waves and black sea phenomena poses a significant threat along the coasts of Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
Residents of the affected areas are urged to stay vigilant and take precautions as the weather system continues to develop, potentially bringing more intense rainfall and hazardous sea conditions in the coming days. The possibility of worsening conditions, especially if the cyclonic circulation near Sri Lanka strengthens, adds to the urgency of the situation. Fishing activities have been banned along Kerala and Lakshadweep coasts, further emphasizing the potential hazards posed by high waves and adverse sea conditions. Authorities continue to monitor the evolving weather patterns and are urging people to stay updated on forecasts and warnings to ensure their safety.
