Heavy rain that has been lashing north Kerala and the high-range areas of the State for the past few days is likely to abate slightly from Thursday due to the weakening of the depression over northeast Arabian sea.
A weather bulletin issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has hinted at a reduction in rain intensity across the State, although fairly widespread rain with isolated heavy falls is likely till Wednesday.
An yellow alert has been sounded in Idukki, Malappuram and Kasaragod on Monday warning of isolated heavy rain. The depression that lay centred off Saurashtra and Kutch coast is likely to maintain the intensity during the next 12 hours and weaken gradually thereafter when it moves towards the Oman coast, although a successor is brewing over north Odisha and neighbourhood, said the IMD bulletin on Sunday.
