The heavy spell of rain lashing the State for the past one week is likely to continue for the next four days under the combined influence of an offshore trough and a low pressure system over the Bay of Bengal.
In view of the rain spell, National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) teams have been deployed in Idukki, Kozhikode, and Wayanad districts.
A red alert has been issued in the Lower Periyar, Kallarkutty, and Kuttiyadi reservoirs, while an orange alert has been declared in the Poringalkuthu reservoir. According to an advisory forecast of the Central Water Commission, water level in the Kadalundi (Malappuram), Bharatapuzha (Palakkad), Vamanapuram and Karamana (Thiruvananthapuram), Kallada (Kollam), and Thodupuzha (Idukki) rivers is rising.
