Kerala to see less rain in August-September: IMD

India Jul 31, 2025

Kerala is likely to get less rain than usual in August and September this year, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
The state has already seen about 9% less rainfall than normal since June, thanks to a weaker monsoon and shifting weather patterns.

Farmers may face tough times ahead

Kerala relies on monsoon rains for farming and water needs, so a dry spell could hit crops and water supply.
With fewer rainy days expected—just 8-17 each month—farmers might potentially face tough times ahead.
Usually, Kerala gets around 445mm of rain in August and 271mm in September, but this year could be noticeably drier.
