From Vizhinjam to Kasaragod there is a possibility of wave height up to 2.9 meters and storm surge. According to the National Institute of Oceanography, the wave speed was between 50 and 75 centimeters per second. Coastal residents have been warned to evacuate and fishermen should not go out to sea.
Rain will decrease till June 20
Light rain under the influence of cyclone till June 20. Only when the cyclone makes landfall and weakens completely will the monsoon intensify and bring more rain to the state. Cyclone Ockhi in 2017 affected the outer region of the Kerala coast. Other coasts are more directly affected by cyclones than the Kerala coast. However, climate studies are also assessing that cyclones may directly hit the Kerala coast in the future under the influence of phenomena that are part of climate change. Most cyclones occur during the monsoon season from October to December.
