• The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has announced the withdrawal of the southwest monsoon and the onset of the northeast monsoon over the southern peninsula of India.
• As a result, Kerala is experiencing heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and gusty winds.

Impact & Risks

The heavy rainfall and associated thunderstorms pose risks of waterlogging, flash floods, and disruptions to daily life in affected areas of Kerala. The orange alert signifies a high likelihood of severe weather conditions in seven districts, while a yellow alert indicates moderate rainfall in other regions. Tourists visiting Wayanad and other high-altitude areas should exercise caution due to potential landslides and slippery roads. The cyclonic circulation near the coast may further intensify rainfall, increasing the risk of localised flooding and damage to infrastructure.
