The Southwest Monsoon has remained quite active and the state is rain surplus by 29% between 01st and 10th June 2026. The sub-division has collected 234.4 mm rainfall against the normal of 182.2 mm. There is still a long way to go, as June, along with July, is the rainiest month for the state. The normal rainfall is substantial at 650 mm for each of these months.
The monsoon westerly stream is fairly strong over the Arabian Sea and is striking the Kerala coast. These winds are converging with the north-south trough extending across the interiors of the South Peninsula. The entire coastline covering Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Alappuzha, Kochi, Thalassery, Kannur, Wayanad, Kasaragod and Kudulu will remain at risk of heavy to very heavy rainfall. Flooding rains are possible over the central and northern parts of the coastline.
Heavy rain and thundershowers will be accompanied by lightning strikes, especially during the late evening and night hours. Strong winds will further aggravate the inclement weather conditions. Water bodies across the state are likely to overflow. Weather conditions are expected to improve at the start of next week. However, moderate rainfall at most places and isolated heavy showers will continue.
