Yellow alert warning of thunderstorms for nine districts in Keralam on October 9, 2026
A yellow alert has been issued for nine districts in Keralam, Kerala, as thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and gusty winds are expected to continue for a few more days. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued this alert on October 8, 2026, after monitoring the weather conditions.
A cyclonic circulation over the south Keralam coast and a trough running from it to south interior Karnataka are causing the weather systems to influence the region. As a result, isolated heavy rain is likely to occur in Kollam, Pathanamthitta, Kottayam, Idukki, Ernakulam, Kozhikode, Wayanad, Kannur, and Kasaragod. The gusty winds could reach speeds of 40-50 kmph.
The alert is in effect until October 10, 2026. Residents and authorities in the affected areas should take necessary precautions to ensure safety during this period of inclement weather.
