IMD has cautioned the public about several weather-related disruptions.
Kerala rainfall patterns are showing variability despite a slight overall deficit in June. The past week witnessed a significant surge, and forecasts suggest continued fluctuations with potential for heavy rainfall events.
In addition, the IMD placed nine districts under yellow alert.
According to the Special Weather Bulletin issued by the IMD, strong westerly to northwesterly winds will prevail over Kerala and Lakshadweep during this period.
Several low-lying regions, including Madhur, remain inundated, forcing the district administration to declare a holiday for all educational institutions, including professional colleges.
Due to heavy rains, the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) has issued red alerts at three dams--Moozhiyar in Pathanamthitta, Kallarkutty in Idukki, and Lower Periyar.
Orange alerts were issued for Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Pathanamthitta, Alappuzha, Kottayam, Ernakulam, Idukki, Thrissur, and Palakkad.
According to the IMD, heavy to extremely heavy rainfall is expected in the state for five days.
The IMD has also warned of strong winds and rough seas along the Kerala-Karnataka-Lakshadweep coasts, advising fishermen to stay ashore till Sunday.
Inflow into other major dams in the district, such as Mattupetty, Kundala, and Ponmudi, has also significantly increased.
