The heavy rainfall has caused flash floods and landslides in districts such as Malappuram, Kottayam, and Idukki, leading to five deaths and two missing persons. Vulnerable areas, particularly hilly regions, face heightened risks of landslides and sudden river-level rises. Strong winds over the Bay of Bengal may also pose risks to marine activities. The incidents have prompted increased monitoring and preparedness measures, including potential evacuations in high-risk zones.
