A yellow alert has been officially issued in several districts of Kerala as the state transitions from intense heatwave conditions to pre-monsoon activity. The alert indicates the possibility of moderate rainfall, thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds over the coming days.
The current weather pattern shows frequent afternoon and evening thunderstorms, which are expected to continue through the week. While this rainfall will help reduce the extreme heat and humidity levels, authorities have warned about localized risks such as:
- Waterlogging in low-lying areas
- Sudden strong winds affecting trees and power lines
- Lightning-related hazards
Residents are advised to:
- Avoid open areas during thunderstorms
- Stay updated with official weather alerts
- Take precautions for electrical safety
Disaster management teams are on alert, and local administrations are monitoring vulnerable areas closely. This phase also signals the gradual arrival of pre-monsoon conditions in Kerala.
