Amid the strengthening of the monsoon spells triggered by the sudden surge of westerlies, Kerala is poised to receive a few more intense spells for the next couple of days.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an orange alert for eight districts – Pathanamthitta, Kottayam, Ernakulam, Idukki, Thrissur, Palakkad, Malappuram, and Kannur, – warning of very heavy rains on Thursday (June 26, 2025) and a yellow alert warning of isolated heavy rains for the remaining parts of Kerala.
