Kerala is anticipated to receive intermittent rainfall from November 1 onwards as a weather system originating from the Bay of Bengal rekindles the monsoon activity. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), a low-pressure area emerged in the South Andaman Sea and nearby regions of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands during the course of Saturday, October 31.
This system is on track to further intensify into a depression over the southeastern Bay of Bengal and adjoining locales of the Andaman Sea and Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Forecast models suggest the possibility of the system escalating into a cyclonic storm by either Sunday or Monday, with its path veering towards the Andhra Pradesh coast.
Coastal Andhra Pradesh and certain areas of Southern India are expected to grapple with heavy rainfall in the wake of this phenomenon. Should the system evolve into a cyclone, it will be christened 'Murasu,' a name suggested by India that translates to 'drum' in Tamil. The Ghat regions and isolated pockets of Kerala are forecasted to experience substantial rainfall over the ensuing days due to the system's influence.
The IMD has issued a yellow alert for Pathanamthitta, Kottayam, and Idukki on Sunday, cautioning of isolated heavy showers. On Monday, the yellow alert is extended to four districts: Idukki, Palakkad, Malappuram, and Wayanad.
