Kerala Monsoon Update: Rainfall, River Levels, and Road Closures
IN · Published Oct 27, 2026
• Kerala is currently experiencing seasonal rainfall, with varying intensities across districts.
• According to the Kerala State Disaster Management Authority (KSDMA), most districts are under a 'Green' alert, indicating normal rainfall conditions.

Impact & Risks

The ongoing rainfall and rising water levels in certain rivers pose a risk of localised flooding, particularly in low-lying areas such as Kuttanad in Alappuzha District, which is prone to prolonged waterlogging. Landslides and debris flows have been reported in areas with steep slopes, such as Meppadi and Chooralmala in Wayanad District. Road closures and partial blockages due to landslides, waterlogging, and tree collapses are causing disruptions in transportation, particularly on key routes like the Kochi-Dhanushkodi National Highway and Chalakudy-Valparai Highway. Residents in affected areas should remain vigilant and follow local advisories.
