Kerala's been hit with some serious rain, so much that the IMD just put seven districts, including Pathanamthitta, Alappuzha, Kottayam, Idukki, Ernakulam, Kannur, and Kasaragod, on orange alert.
There's also a three-hour alert for five central districts, warning of moderate rain, in Pathanamthitta, Alappuzha, Kottayam, Idukki, and Ernakulam.
The weather isn't letting up soon either; expect thunderstorms and strong winds until at least August 8.
