Orange alert is declared in seven districts-Kollam, Pathanamthitta, Alappuzha, Kottayam, Ernakulam, Idukki and Thrissur. The other seven districts are on yellow alert.

The Meteorological Center has informed that there is a possibility of thunder and lightning. Officials have warned fishermen not to go into the sea. Fishing in Kerala-Karnataka-Lakshadweep coasts has been banned till September 3.

The rains are due to a cyclonic circulation over Tamil Nadu and adjoining areas and a low pressure area extending over Tamil Nadu to Madhya Pradesh. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has informed that there is a possibility of widespread rain in Kerala for the next five days.
