The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has announced a yellow alert for two districts in Kerala, signaling a period of potential localized heavy rainfall. This alert comes as the intensity of the southwest monsoon has notably weakened across the state.
Officials have indicated that while the overall monsoon activity has reduced, residents should remain aware of potential weather changes. The IMD's advisory also includes a warning for strong winds that may affect coastal and inland areas.
In addition to the yellow alert, there is a forecast for isolated rainfall in various parts of Kerala. This suggests that while the monsoon is not as robust as initially expected, scattered showers could still occur, requiring continued vigilance from the public.
