#WATCH# | Thiruvananthapuram, Keralam | IMD Scientist Neetha K Gopal says, "For many days, Kerala had not been receiving rainfall and was experiencing higher temperatures. As a result, the atmosphere became very warm. At the same time, there was sufficient moisture available. In addition, a low-pressure system formed over the Bay of Bengal on the 19th, creating conditions that were highly conducive to the development of tall thunderstorm clouds. Rainfall from such clouds can lead to localised damage, including flash floods, intense rainfall, and strong currents in rivers... Rainfall will continue today in central and southern Kerala. From tomorrow, there may be a slight reduction in rainfall. However, on the 23rd and 24th, we are again expecting increased rainfall because the well-marked low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal is moving towards the Andhra Pradesh coast. As the system strengthens, possibly into a depression, it is likely to enhance rainfall over Kerala..."
