Kerala Issues Yellow Alert Due to Expected Rainfall; School and College Holidays to Be Determined Locally

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for eight districts in Kerala in response to anticipated heavy rainfall over the coming days. The districts affected include Ernakulam, Idukki, Malappuram, Palakkad, Pathanamthitta, Thrissur, Wayanad, and Kozhikode.

Local authorities have stated that decisions on school and college vacations will be made at the district level, taking into consideration the severity of rainfall and potential disruptions. The yellow alert, which indicates a likelihood of weather-related hazards, suggests that residents remain vigilant and prepared for adverse conditions, including potential flooding and landslips in vulnerable areas.

As the state braces for the expected rainfall, the Kerala Disaster Management Authority is advising residents to stay updated with weather forecasts and take necessary precautions. The IMD forecasts heavy to very heavy rainfall in certain areas, which may impact daily life and transport systems.

Residents are advised to avoid unnecessary travel and to secure loose items in their surroundings to prevent any damage caused by strong winds, which may accompany the rainfall.
