\"IMD<\/div>\n
The India Meteorological Department (IMD<\/a>) has forecast heavy rainfall<\/a> in Kerala<\/a> for the next five days and issued a red alert<\/a> in three districts<\/a> of the state for May 19 and 20. <\/p>\n

The weather department<\/a> has issued a red alert in Pathanamthitta, Kottayam, and Idukki districts of the state for May 19 and 20. <\/p>\n

Additionally, an orange alert was issued for Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Alappuzha, and Ernakulam for those two days. <\/p>\n

Heavy downpours increase the possibility of flash floods<\/a> and waterlogging in urban and low-lying areas. Continued rainfall may also trigger landslides<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Heavy to very heavy rainfall is very likely to continue over south peninsular India till May 23, with extremely heavy falls during May 19-21, according to the IMD forecast on Saturday. <\/p>\n

Isolated heavy to very heavy rainfall is very likely over Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Karaikal, Kerala, and Mahe on May 18 and 22, and South Interior Karnataka on May 18-20, the IMD said. “Isolated extremely heavy rainfall is also very likely over Tamil Nadu and Kerala during May 19-21,” it added. According to the IMD data issued last week, the southwest monsoon<\/a> is likely to hit Kerala on May 31. <\/p>\n

“Southwest monsoon normally sets in over Kerala on June 1 with a standard deviation of about seven days. This year, the southwest monsoon is likely to set in over Kerala on May 31,” the IMD said in a release. <\/p>\n

The advance of the southwest monsoon over the Indian mainland<\/a> is marked by monsoon onset over Kerala and is an important indicator characterising the transition from a hot and dry season to a rainy season.<\/p>\n

As the monsoon progresses northward, relief from scorching summer temperatures is experienced over the areas, it added. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
