Kerala is likely to receive fairly widespread rainfall across the State from Thursday, triggered by a cyclonic storm over the Bay of Bengal.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), a low pressure area now lies over the South Andaman Sea, which is likely to become more marked by Wednesday.
It will then move west-northwestward and intensify into a depression over the southeast Bay of Bengal around 30 November. Thereafter, it will move northwestwards and intensify further into a cyclonic storm over the Southwest and adjoining southeast Bay of Bengal during the subsequent 48 hours.
