Thiruvananthapuram: Widespread rain and strong winds across Kerala are expected in the coming days, warns the Indian Meteorological Department. The northern districts are expected to receive heavy rain on Monday, with red alert issued for Malappuram, Kannur and Kasaragod districts, indicating potential rainfall of up to 20cm in 24 hours.

On Sunday, several parts of the state experienced heavy rain and strong winds. Ayyankunnu in Kannur recorded the maximum rainfall of 12cm on the day. Kollam, Munnar, Vadakara and Mananthavady recorded 6cm of rainfall each.

Heavy winds accompanied by rain caused widespread damage across the district today. A tree fell on the road at Pravithanam in Pala, damaging electricity poles and causing a traffic jam on the Pravithanam-Ullanadu road. The wind that blew around 12.30pm even damaged vehicles parked on the road.

The district administration in Pathanamthitta urged people living in the catchment area of Moozhiyar Dam to be extra vigilant as its shutters are likely to be raised.

The Kerala Disaster Management Authority warned that water-logging on major roads and poor visibility of vehicles may lead to traffic congestion.

Flooding in many parts of low-lying areas and river banks and the uprooting of trees may cause damage related to the power sector, the KSDMA added.

 

 

The Met department has sounded an orange alert for Ernakulam, Thrissur, Palakkad, Kozhikode, and Wayanad. A Yellow alert has been declared in Pathanamthitta, Alappuzha, Kottayam, and Idukki districts, with up to 11 cm of rainfall forecast.

 

Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services has issued high wave alerts in Kannur and Kasaragod.
