Rain spells or thundershowers are expected in nearly all states over the next few hours, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). However, the department noted that the intensity of the rainfall may vary from light to moderate, with some regions potentially experiencing a few intense spells.
In particular, the IMD issued a yellow warning on Tuesday for eight districts in Kerala—Ernakulam, Idukki, Thrissur, Malappuram, Kozhikode, Wayanad, Kannur, and Kasaragod—because these districts are likely to experience heavy rainfall.

Additionally, a wind warning is in effect due to anticipated surface winds reaching speeds of 30-40 km/h, with gusts potentially reaching 50 km/h. Kerala is also under a high-wave alert. Earlier today, landslides struck Wayanad district in Kerala, resulting in several fatalities. District authorities have relocated numerous families to various camps or relatives’ homes in response to the landslides.
The IMD has also forecasted light to moderate rainfall in Lakshadweep, Gujarat, coastal Karnataka, coastal Odisha, North Chhattisgarh, South Jharkhand, Jammu and Kashmir, Gangetic West Bengal, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura.
