• This weather activity is linked to a well-marked low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal, which is expected to intensify into a depression and potentially a cyclonic storm. Rainfall amounts between 7-11 cm within 24 hours are forecasted at isolated locations. Thunderstorms accompanied by strong winds, with speeds of 30-40 kmph, are also likely during this period. The affected districts include Pathanamthitta, Kottayam, Idukki, Palakkad, Malappuram, Wayanad, Kozhikode, Kannur, and Kasaragod.

Impact & Risks

The heavy rainfall and thunderstorms could lead to localised flooding, waterlogging, and disruption to daily activities in the affected districts. Strong winds may pose risks to weak structures and trees, potentially causing damage. Residents in low-lying areas and those near water bodies should remain vigilant as the rainfall could lead to a rise in water levels. The possibility of a cyclonic storm developing in the Bay of Bengal adds further uncertainty to the weather conditions.
