Monsoon rains escalate, red alert in Kerala districts
Kerala is seeing some intense rainfall, with the IMD putting Idukki, Malappuram, and Wayanad on red alert—meaning over 20cm of rain could fall in just a day.
Ernakulam and Thrissur are on orange alert for very heavy rain.
TL;DR
Hundreds have moved to relief camps for safety
Rivers are rising fast and flooding is already affecting low-lying areas. Hundreds have had to move to relief camps for safety.
In Wayanad's Chooralmala area, the river is dangerously high near the Bailey bridge—a spot that saw deadly landslides last year.
The good news? The IMD says rains should ease up after Saturday, but people near rivers still need to stay cautious.
