Heavy rain and strong winds that lashed Thiruvananthapuram and Kollam districts on Monday evening brought down trees in a few places, causing damage to houses.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) here attributed the rainfall to strengthening summer showers, saying parts of the State can expect afternoon thundershowers in the days ahead.
A tree on the premises of Civil Supplies Minister G. R. Anil's official residence in the capital city was uprooted. No one was hurt in the incident, his office said.
