IMD Warns of Four-Day Heavy Rain Spell Across Kerala, South Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry

The India Meteorological Department has forecast heavy rainfall over Kerala, south Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry for four days beginning Thursday, signalling a consequential wet phase for the southern peninsula even as a low-pressure system over the south-east Bay of Bengal has weakened after its parent circulation dissipated. The outlook raises the risk of localized flooding, transport disruption and short-term pressure on agriculture and urban drainage systems across the region.
