The southwest monsoon has gathered strength over Kerala, bringing widespread rainfall and prompting the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to issue orange and yellow alerts across several districts. Heavy to very heavy rainfall is expected in parts of the state over the next two days, while thunderstorms are likely to continue until June 10.
Authorities have urged residents in vulnerable areas to remain cautious as the risk of landslides, flash floods, waterlogging and strong winds increases.
