Hello
The rains are caused by a depression in South-Western Bay of Bengal.
The climate agency said the rain spell is expected to last the whole week after the formation of low pressure in the southwest region near the Bay of Bengal.
Fishermen and people living in the coastal areas should maintain high vigil.
With rainfall anticipated to increase by the 2080s, paved gardens and parks are predicted to generate greater runoff in the future as rainfall increases due to climate change.
The India Meteorological Department has predicted heavy rains in the state till Tuesday. It cautioned that the state may experience isolated heavy rains, accompanied by lightning.
The India Meteorological Department has issued yellow alert in Ernakulam, Idukki, Thrissur, Palakkad, Malappuram, Kozhikode, Wayanad, Kannur and Kasaragod districts for the next two days.
The department had advised ban on fishing along the Kerala-Lakshadweep coast till Sunday noon. However, no alerts have been issued today (Dec 5).
According to a press release by IMA, a low pressure region that could develop depression is predicted to occur over the Southeast Bay of Bengal and the nearby Andaman Sea. The release said that over the next 4-5 days, scattered moderate rainfall is likely to occur over Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Lakshadweep as a result of the easterly wave.
The department issued the warning in the wake of the presence of two cyclones in the South-Eastern Arabian Sea and the Central-Eastern Bay of Bengal.
The national weather agency sounded a yellow alert for seven districts on Monday.
