Kerala has been severely affected by heavy rainfall that began overnight, leading to widespread disruption across the state. Roads have been inundated, trees uprooted, and houses damaged, significantly impacting normal life. Tragically, a 29-year-old man lost his life in Thrissur's Manaloor when a tree collapsed on a temporary shed where he was sleeping. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had issued a red alert for five districts—Malappuram, Kozhikode, Wayanad, Kannur, and Kasaragod—indicating expected rainfall exceeding 20 cm within 24 hours. An orange alert was also declared for six other districts, indicating very heavy rainfall of 11 cm to 20 cm. In response to the severe weather conditions, authorities have prohibited entry to tourist trekking spots and night travel on hilly roads, particularly in Wayanad, Kozhikode, and Kasaragod. Additionally, holidays have been declared for educational institutions in Wayanad, Kannur, and Kasaragod to ensure student safety during this extreme weather event.
