Kerala Weather Today: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an orange alert for two districts of Kerala – Ernakulam and Idukki for Friday, June 12. It has warned of heavy to very heavy rainfall as multiple weather systems continue to influence conditions over the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. According to the IMD, isolated areas in Ernakulam and Idukki are likely to receive heavy rainfall ranging between 7 cm and 11 cm, while very heavy rainfall of 12 cm to 20 cm within a 24-hour period is also expected on June 12. A yellow alert has been issued for Pathanamthitta, Alappuzha, Kottayam, Thrissur, Kannur and Kasaragod districts. The warning indicates the possibility of heavy rainfall of 7 cm to 11 cm in 24 hours at isolated locations across these districts.
The weather department has forecast continued rainfall activity across Kerala over the coming days. Yellow alerts have been issued for:
Kozhikode, Kannur and Kasaragod on June 13
Ernakulam, Thrissur, Palakkad and Malappuram on June 14
Alappuzha and Ernakulam on June 15
The IMD said Kerala and Coastal Karnataka are likely to remain among the wettest regions during the forecast period. Heavy to very heavy rainfall is expected over Kerala, Mahe and Coastal Karnataka on June 12, while heavy rainfall is likely to continue across these regions through much of the forecast period. The IMD attributed the widespread rainfall activity to multiple upper-air cyclonic circulations and a trough extending from the east-central Arabian Sea to the west-central Bay of Bengal.
