Widespread rain likely across Keralam for three days; Yellow alert for seven districts on September 23
According to a weather bulletin issued by the India Meteorological department (IMD) on Tuesday, the well-marked low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal has intensified into a depression
Kerala is bracing for three days of heavy rainfall starting Wednesday, September 23, 2026, as a weather system from the Bay of Bengal makes landfall. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for seven districts, warning of potential isolated heavy rain. The system, which began as a low-pressure area, has intensified into a depression and is expected to move west-northwestwards, intensifying further by Tuesday night.
By Wednesday night, the depression is anticipated to reach the north Andhra Pradesh-south Odisha coast, crossing the coast between Visakhapatnam and Gopalpur. As the system progresses, it will bring increased rainfall to Kerala, particularly in the seven districts and five additional northern Keralan districts, with the latter receiving yellow alerts for Thursday.
