Apart from this, IMD has also predicted subdued rainfall activity over Northwest & Central India during next 5 days.

As per IMD, fairly widespread to widespread light to moderate rains, along with isolated heavy falls (64.5 mm-115.5 mm), thunderstorms, lightning and strong surface-level winds are all very likely over Kerala from Monday to Friday. 

Within the southern state, all districts — including the capital city Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Pathanamthitta, Alappuzha and Thrissur, have been placed on a yellow watch for the entirety of this five-day forecast period. The advisory urges the residents to ‘be aware’ of the local weather situation.

According to The Weather Channel’s met team, this wet spell will be created by a cyclonic circulation located over Kerala and a north-south trough running along the eastern side of South India, from East Maharashtra to South Coastal Andhra Pradesh.
