The southwest monsoon made an early arrival over Kerala and North-eastern states, with heavy rains over the region. Normally, the monsoon sets in over Kerala on June 1 and advances over most part of northeast India by June 5. But Kerala is struggling to cope as heavy rains have left several cities, towns and villages flooded. While rain-related damage has recurred in Kerala, the scale of destruction has been expanding over the last decade. That’s why it becomes increasingly relevant to be prepared for both seasonal and unseasonal showers. The devastating 2018 floods and a near-repeat in 2019 showed Kerala’s rainfall pattern is no longer predictable.Yet authorities are not prepared to deal with the consequences.
