Over the next 10 days, many popular hill stations in South India — including Idukki, Wayanad, Nilgiris, and Valparai — are likely to experience intense rainfall, according to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD). The rain, driven by monsoon currents and low-pressure systems in the Bay of Bengal, is expected to bring occasional thunderstorms and landslide threats, especially in high-altitude regions. Tourists and residents are advised to stay cautious, avoid trekking, and follow local weather updates regularly. Authorities have been alerted to ensure safety in vulnerable areas.
