Seven districts across the Indian state of Kerala have declared holidays today, June 27, 2025, following the continuous downpour that has hit the region. The affected districts are Alappuzha, Ernakulam, Idukki, Kottayam, Pathanamthitta, Thrissur, and Wayanad.
According to the latest reports from the district administration, the heavy rain has led to waterlogging in several areas, disrupting normal life and posing potential safety risks. Schools in these districts have been closed for the day to ensure the safety of students and staff. The decision was made considering the prevailing weather conditions and the risk of travel during such times.
The Met department has forecasted more rain over the next 24 hours, and authorities are urging people to remain vigilant. District collectors have appealed to residents to stay indoors unless necessary, especially in low-lying areas where the risk of flooding is higher.
This is not the first time that heavy rain has disrupted normal life in Kerala. The state is no stranger to such weather events, with the monsoon season bringing unpredictable and often severe rainfall. However, authorities have been proactive in their response, ensuring that essential services continue uninterrupted and necessary precautions are taken to protect the public.
As the situation continues to be monitored closely, updates will be provided as they become available. It is hoped that the heavy rain will pass soon, allowing life in these districts to return to normal. In the meantime, residents are urged to stay safe and follow instructions from local authorities.
