Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Pathanamthitta and Kottayam are likely to receive rain. Thunderstorms are also likely. Yellow alert has been sounded in Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam and Pathanamthitta tomorrow. A chance of isolated heavy rain has been predicted.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Research Centre has informed that there is a possibility of high waves of 0.5 to 1.0 meters on the coast of Kerala and Tamil Nadu till tomorrow.
