In the wake of these two weather systems, now, the rain intensity over parts of Kerala is likely to increase and will continue to prevail over the region for the next 48 hours. Thereafter, the intensity of these showers will, however, reduce but on and light spells will continue to drench the parts of the state.
As per Skymet Weather, the rainfall activity will be confined more to the north-coastal stations of the state. Districts such as Kozhikode, Kannur, and Karipur will be affected more with moderate to isolated heavy rains in contrast with the stations lying along the southern coastal belt of the state in districts such as Thiruvananthapuram, Palayamkottai, and Punalur that are anticipated to witness light to moderate spells.
