A day after the extreme rainfall struck, the India Meteorological Department issued a red alert for Wayanad and Kozhikode, warning of extremely heavy rainfall on Tuesday, while an orange alert has been issued for Malappuram, Kannur and Kasaragod, where intense heavy rainfall is expected during the next 24 hours.
A yellow alert has also been issued for Palakkad, Thrissur, Ernakulam and Idukki districts, warning of isolated heavy rains in the next 24 hours. The depression over the Bay of Bengal triggers heavy rainfall across the State, especially in northern Kerala and the West Coast of the country. A yellow alert was in place in Wayanad on Monday. However, around 265 mm of rain lashed the region during the last 24 hours ending at 8.30 a.m. on Tuesday, which is classified as extremely heavy rainfall by the IMD.
