Due to the strengthening of monsoon winds, Kerala is expected to experience continuous rainfall over the next five days, with central and northern districts likely to receive heavy downpours. Poonjar in Kottayam witnessed very heavy rains on Friday. An orange alert has been issued for Kannur, Kasaragod, and Kozhikode, while a yellow alert is in place for Ernakulam, Thrissur, Malappuram, and Wayanad. The central districts will see isolated showers, and the southern districts will experience light rainfall. This weather pattern is a result of the intensified monsoon activity across the region.
Additionally, the ‘Kallakkadal’ phenomenon is predicted along the coasts of Kerala and Tamil Nadu today, according to the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services. This phenomenon could result in high waves and storm surges. Fishermen and coastal residents are advised to exercise special caution due to these potentially hazardous conditions. The authorities are closely monitoring the situation and have urged the public to stay informed and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
