The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned of very heavy rainfall across Kerala on Wednesday.

Three districts will be under red alert on October 22, including Idukki, Palakkad and Malappuram. The Met department has predicted that there will be more than 204.4 mm of rain in the next 24 hours in these districts. IMD warned of waterlogging in urban and low-lying areas.

The Idukki district administration has declared holidays for anganwadis, nurseries, schools and higher educational institutions in the district. However, pre-scheduled exams and interviews will not be postponed. The district collector said educational institutions should arrange online classes to make up for the study hours lost due to the holiday.
