The southwest monsoon is likely to be active in north Kerala from Wednesday triggered by the combined effect of the cyclonic circulations over the Bay of Bengal and adjoining coastal Odisha, south Chhattisgarh, northwest Madhya Pradesh, and Haryana.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a yellow alert for four districts—Malappuram, Kozhikode, Kannur, and Kasaragod—on Wednesday warning of isolated heavy rains.
The isolated heavy rain is likely to continue in north Kerala till July 22, according to the bulletin issued by the IMD here on Tuesday. Under the influence of the cyclonic circulation over the Bay of Bengal and adjoining coastal Odisha, a low pressure area is likely to form over the north-west Bay of Bengal in the next 48 hours, which is likely to trigger light to moderate spells across the State for the next four days, the bulletin says.
