The rainfall deficit is affecting eight of Kerala's 14 districts, with Wayanad and Idukki facing the most severe shortfalls. These districts are vital for the State's water and power supply, and prolonged deficits could lead to challenges in resource availability. The lack of key rain-enhancing factors, such as active offshore troughs and strong westerlies, further diminishes the likelihood of a monsoon revival. Early summer-like conditions may emerge, potentially impacting agriculture, water resources, and energy generation in the region.
