Kerala Monsoon

While floods in Assam and heavy rainfall-induced landslides in Kerala have drawn global attention, 25 per cent of the 36 meteorological subdivisions in India are still reeling from a rainfall deficit halfway through the monsoon season.

More than 50 people were killed after landslides swept through tea estates and homes in Kerala state on July 30. Heavy rains caused floods in capital New Delhi. Several rivers swelled up in Assam after seasonal monsoon rains.

At least 43 people were killed in landslides triggered by monsoon rain in Kerala's Wayanad today.

Schools and colleges will remain closed on Thursday in six districts in Kerala in view of the rain alert issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) for the state.

Normally, the monsoon reaches Kerala by June 1, Mumbai by June 11, and the national capital by June 27.

With Southwest monsoon intensifying in Kerala two days after its onset, heavy downpours lashed several parts of the state, especially in south and central districts triggering landslides, uprooting trees and waterlogging.

Cyclone Remal, which formed in the Bay of Bengal, has led to India witnessing a rare phenomenon with the monsoon setting in simultaneously over Kerala and most parts of the northeast.

Kerala has been receiving heavy rains for the past few days resulting in a surplus May rainfall.

In its latest update, the India Meteorological Department said conditions are likely to become favourable for the onset of Southwest Monsoon over Kerala during the next five days.

The union government has offered Rs 200 crore to Kerala under the Urban Mitigation Programme for the state capital, Thiruvananthapuram, which witnessed waterlogging during the recent pre-monsoon showers.

As Kerala reels under heavy pre-monsoon rains, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Thursday revised the rain alerts and issued a red alert in two districts in the state.

The crippling heat is straining power grids and drying up water bodies triggering drought-like conditions in parts of the country.

Southwest Monsoon is likely to arrive over Kerala around May 31, setting the stage for the four-month rainfall season crucial for India's farm-based economy.

Heavy Rain Alert: After wreaking havoc in several North Indian states, incessant rain has now also moved to the southern states and authorities have urged locals to stay indoors and take precautions.

Humans can become infected with Leptospira when they come into contact with water, soil, or food contaminated with the urine of infected animals. Here's how you can prevent it.
