The Kerala Meteorological Department has issued a yellow alert for eleven districts, with Kochi among the areas expected to receive heavy rainfall.
Kerala's weather bureau has placed eleven districts under a yellow alert as a low‑pressure system moves inland, bringing the prospect of intense showers. Kochi, situated on the state's southwestern coast, is identified as one of the zones likely to experience the heaviest rainfall.
Meteorologists predict that the rain could be intermittent but strong, with accumulations of up to 50 mm in a short span. The alert advises residents to stay updated with local forecasts and to avoid non‑essential travel during peak downpours.
Authorities have readied emergency response teams and are monitoring drainage systems to mitigate flooding risks. The public is urged to clear clogged drains and secure loose objects that could be displaced by strong gusts.
