After a disappointing June which witnessed a weak monsoon across Kerala, the State is likely to witness an intense spell of heavy rain this week, especially in northern and central Kerala.
An India Meteorological department (IMD) weather bulletin here on Sunday issued an orange alert for three districts — Idukki, Kannur and Kasaragod — on Monday warning of heavy to very heavy rain and an yellow alert for the rest of the districts, except Thiruvananthapuram and Wayanad, warning of isolated heavy rain.
An orange alert for nine districts from Ernakulam to Kasaragod has been issued for Tuesday and an yellow alert for the remaining districts, except Thiruvananthapuram. Similarly, an orange alert for eight districts from Idukki to Kasaragod has been issued for Wednesday and a yellow alert for the remaining districts, except Thiruvananthapuram.
