With the conditions becoming favourable for the cessation of northeast rainfall activity over Kerala, the night and daytime temperatures are set to witness fluctuations in the State in the coming days. The northeast monsoon has almost retreated, although the withdrawal from the southern peninsula is expected to be around January 15, ending the two dominant monsoon seasons over the State.
With the cessation of rain activity, dry weather is likely to prevail in most parts of the State in the coming days, according to a weather bulletin issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Saturday. No rain occurred in Kerala and Lakshadweep on Saturday. The minimum temperature fell appreciably in Ernakulam, Thiruvananthapuram, and Thrissur districts, while there was no large change in it elsewhere in Kerala during the past 24 hours, said the bulletin.
