Heavy rain likely in Kerala, TN, Karnataka

Friday, 05 October 2018 | PTI | Thiruvananthapuram

Kerala, ravaged by the south west monsoon in August, is bracing for more rains with a low pressure area likely to form over the Southeast Arabian sea, as the State Government stepped up disaster preparedness on Thursday.

Kerala’s neighbour Tamil Nadu initiated preventive measures following an IMD forecast that parts of the state may receive heavy to very heavy rainfall in most places and extremely heavy rainfall in some areas on October 7, officials said.

The Karnataka Government sounded an alert in 12 districts as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said heavy rains were likely in South interior parts of the southern State. An IMD bulletin said the low pressure area could intensify into a cyclonic storm, triggering heavy to very heavy rainfall in several parts of Kerala.

In view of the IMD forecast, a red alert has been sounded in Idukki and Malappuram districts with heavy rain expected on Sunday.

Shutters of dams in Thrissur and Palakaad districts were lifted this evening to drain out excess water.
