THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: In the next three hours, districts including Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Pathanamthitta, Palakkad Ernakulam, and Idukki will receive moderate rainfall with heavy lightning. The rain will move at a speed of 40 km/hr informed the Indian metrological department.

Lightning is considered dangerous. It can disrupt or tamper the electric cables and can directly strike humans and animals alike. The Kerala safety department has warned people to not venture out during these hours. A set of rules has also been issued by the organization. It says people to sit inside an enclosed space during lightning hours and never try moving through an open space.

Local landline services should not be used during lighting hours, but mobile phones are considered safe to use.
