Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) | August 5, 2024 3:11:25 PM IST
India Meteorological Department (IMD) scientist Neetha K Gopal said that the overall monsoon for peninsular India, including Kerala, is going to be weak in the next 3-4 days.

Speaking to ANI, the IMD scientist said, "The overall monsoon for peninsular India, including Kerala, is going to be weak for the coming 3-4 days due to the monsoon trough, which generally regulates the rainfall activity over the entire Indian subcontinent."

She further said that there will be excess rainfall over the states neighbouring the Himalayan region, but rainfall will reduce over the peninsular region. "So Kerala will have only very light to moderate rainfall, or maybe even less than that," she added.

The IMD has predicted scattered to fairly widespread light to moderate rainfall over Kerala and Mahe, Lakshadweep, Karnataka, and isolated to scattered rainfall over Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal, Coastal Andhra Pradesh, and Yanam, Telangana and Rayalaseema during the next five days.

It has also forecast heavy rainfall very likely at isolated places over Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Coastal Karnataka today and tomorrow.

Kerala has been experiencing incessant rainfall since the beginning of July. On July 30, massive landslides hit Kerala's Wayanad claiming over 300 lives and destruction to property. (ANI)
