Thiruvananthapuram: Yellow alert in 11 districts today and tomorrow. Yellow alert in districts except for Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, and Pathanamthitta. The Meteorological Center has said that the rain will subside by tomorrow.
Cyclone Mandaus, which made landfall in Tamil Nadu, has weakened into a cyclonic system, but the westerly winds that are part of it are responsible for the continued rains in the state. It is believed that the cyclone which has made landfall over Tamil Nadu will enter the Arabian Sea via Karnataka-North Kerala in the next few hours. As the cyclone moves away, rains will also ease.
