The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Wednesday (June 10, 2026) issued an orange alert in two districts of Kerala for the morning and predicted thunderstorms with moderate rainfall and strong winds in various parts of the State where the southwest monsoon remains active.

The IMD issued an orange alert in Alappuzha and Ernakulam districts for three hours starting 10 am.

Additionally, it predicted thunderstorms with moderate rainfall and surface winds of speeds between 40-50 kilometers per hour in these two districts as well as Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Pathanamthitta, Kottayam, Thrissur, Malappuram, Kozhikode, Kannur and Kasaragod districts of the State.

On Tuesday, heavy rains accompanied by strong winds lashed several parts of Kerala, particularly in the northern districts, leading to widespread waterlogging and prompting precautionary evacuation measures in some areas.
