Thiruvananthapuram: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted a rise in daytime temperatures across Kerala today, with an expected increase of 2 to 3 degrees Celsius. This surge in temperature is attributed to prevailing weather patterns, including a low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal. Despite the daytime heat, light rainfall is anticipated in the evening, particularly in the southern districts of Thiruvananthapuram and Kollam.
Yesterday, heavy rainfall was observed in specific parts of the capital city and Kottayam district. Kannur and Thiruvananthapuram reported the highest daytime temperatures, making them among the warmest areas in the state. The combination of elevated temperatures and high humidity levels is likely to cause discomfort for residents during the day, making it advisable to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged outdoor activities.
As the low-pressure system continues to influence weather conditions, the evening showers could bring temporary relief from the heat in affected regions. Residents in southern Kerala are advised to stay prepared for sudden weather changes, while those in other parts of the state should brace for warmer daytime conditions. The IMD has urged people, especially the elderly and those with health conditions, to take precautions against the rising temperatures during the day. Wearing light, breathable clothing and staying hydrated can help combat the discomfort caused by the heat and humidity. Additionally, the anticipated rain in the evening may lead to localized waterlogging in some areas, so residents are advised to plan their travel accordingly. Authorities are closely monitoring the weather situation and will issue updates as needed to ensure public safety.
