Extreme Heat and Humidity Impact Living Conditions in North Kerala

On April 16, Kozhikode recorded its highest temperature of the season at 37.2°C, which is 2.6°C above the normal seasonal average for this time of year. This unseasonably high temperature is part of a broader trend observed in the region, where maximum temperatures in the districts of Kasaragod, Malappuram, and Kannur have also surpassed seasonal averages.

Weather experts indicate that such temperature deviations can be attributed to various factors, including climate patterns and local weather conditions. The Kerala Meteorological Department has advised residents to take precautions during this period of elevated heat, emphasizing the importance of staying hydrated and avoiding outdoor activities during peak hours. As the summer progresses, fluctuations in temperatures are expected, and the authorities will continue to monitor the situation for any potential impacts on health and agriculture in the region.
