Heavy rain continued across Kerala on August 7, 2026, prompting the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to issue a red alert for Alappuzha, Kottayam, Ernakulam, Thrissur, Palakkad, Kannur and Kasaragod during the morning hours. The warning indicated the possibility of very intense rainfall, with isolated areas receiving more than 15 mm of rain per hour along with gusty winds reaching around 50 kmph.
Several districts also declared holidays for educational institutions as authorities continued to monitor flood-prone and coastal areas. In Alappuzha, parts of Kuttanad and Upper Kuttanad remained waterlogged, while officials warned residents to remain cautious near flooded roads, rivers and low-lying areas. Coastal communities were also advised to stay alert because of rough sea conditions and possible sea incursion.
