Kerala to Witness Heavy Rainfall and Thunderstorms Until November 12

• The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted heavy rainfall and thunderstorms in Kerala until 12 November
• A yellow alert has been issued for Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Pathanamthitta, Alappuzha, and Kottayam on 7 November, with Idukki under a yellow alert on 8 November. Rainfall is expected to range between 64.5 mm and 115.5 mm within 24 hours in these districts. The weather conditions are attributed to an upper-air cyclonic circulation over east Telangana and coastal Andhra Pradesh, along with a trough in the easterlies extending from the southeast Arabian Sea to south interior Karnataka.

Impact & Risks

The heavy rainfall and thunderstorms are likely to cause waterlogging, reduced visibility, and traffic disruptions. Strong winds, with speeds of 30-40 kmph, may uproot trees and damage power infrastructure and kutcha houses. Standing crops, particularly vegetables nearing maturity, could also be affected. The IMD has warned of potential landslides, mudslides, and lightning-related injuries, especially in open areas. Residents in vulnerable locations are advised to remain cautious.
