Heavy rainfall and squally winds pose risks of flooding, landslides, and coastal erosion in Kerala. The affected districts are under heightened alert, with potential disruptions to daily life, including road closures and restricted travel on vulnerable hill routes. Fishermen are advised to avoid venturing into the sea due to high waves and swell surges. Residents in low-lying and landslide-prone areas are at increased risk of property damage and evacuation.
