This is the earliest monsoon arrival in Kerala since 2009, when it began on May 23.
Experts caution that an early onset does not always ensure steady or well-distributed rainfall.
The IMD has said the southwest monsoon was expected to hit Kerala within two days, with widespread rain likely across the state over the coming week.
The department also warned of thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and gusty winds (40–50 km/h) in isolated areas across Kerala on May 23 and 24.
A yellow alert has been issued in 12 districts on Thursday- Pathanamthitta, Alappuzha, Kottayam, Ernakulam, Idukki, Thrissur, Palakkad, Malappuram, Kozhikode, Wayanad, Kannur, and Kasaragod.
Meanwhile, orange and yellow alerts have been declared across several districts in Kerala from May 22 to May 25.
IMD has warned of more rain due to an evolving cyclonic system.
Typically, the southwest monsoon hits Kerala by June 1 and covers the entire country by July 8.
According to the latest IMD update, an orange alert has been issued for Kozhikode, Wayanad, Kannur, and Kasaragod.
A yellow alert is sounded in Pathanamthitta, Malappuram, Wayanad and Kannur today.
