Kerala Weather Update: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has stated that several regions of Kerala are likely to witness heavy rainfall for the next five days. The weather department stated that the presence of a cyclonic circulation over the Kanyakumari Sea and the Indian Ocean will also lead to thunderstorms and lightning in the coastal regions. The continuous rainfall is likely to lead to waterlogging in the cities and flood-like situations in the lower regions, leading to inconveniences. The weather department has advised the residents to follow the guidelines and limit their outings to avoid any inconveniences.
