India Meteorological Department forecasts pleasant Kerala Onam weather, light rain
India
Good news if you're in Kerala for Onam: the India Meteorological Department (IMD) says the weather will be mostly pleasant this festival week.
Expect just light rain in most places, with a few scattered showers between August 23 and 25 thanks to some upper air cyclonic activity.
The Bay of Bengal should stay calm too, so no big surprises from there.
Yellow alert across northern Kerala districts
A yellow alert is out for Kasaragod, Kannur, Wayanad, and Kozhikode on August 23, followed by more alerts in central Kerala through August 25.
There might be some heavier rain spells in southern Kerala later in August, but overall, no continuous downpours are expected, so your Onam plans are probably safe!
