• The southwest monsoon has regained strength in Kerala after nearly two weeks of summer-like conditions, thanks to a low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal.
• Widespread rainfall has been reported across most districts, bringing temperatures back to normal levels.

Impact & Risks

Heavy rainfall has already caused landslips in Idukki, leading to two fatalities and one injury. The IMD has issued a yellow alert for eight districts, including Thiruvananthapuram and Thrissur, warning of isolated heavy rainfall. The intensifying weather system may lead to further disruptions, including flooding and landslides, particularly in vulnerable areas. Residents in affected districts should remain cautious and monitor updates closely.
