The heavy rainfall in Kerala and surrounding regions poses significant risks, including flash flooding, landslides, and disruptions to daily life. Red warnings have been issued for these areas, urging caution. In Thailand, strong monsoon winds over the Andaman Sea are generating waves of 2–3 meters, leading to advisories for small vessels to remain ashore. The below-normal seasonal rainfall forecast could impact agriculture, particularly for rain-fed crops like rice and cotton, which rely on consistent monsoon rains. Farmers may face challenges in planting and sustaining crops if dry periods occur.
