The weather department predicted heavy rainfall (7 cm to 11 cm in 24 hours) to very heavy rainfall (12 cm to 20 cm in 24 hours) in one or two places in Ernakulam, Thrissur, and Kannur on Aug 14, and in Kozhikode and Wayanad on Aug 15.
The rainfall, which reached 140 mm in just one day, is described as a “once in a 50-year event” for Wayanad, marking it as the third highest single-day rainfall on record for the area.
A specialized operation is planned for the remote area between Soochippara and Pothukallu, with a 12-member team from the Army and forest department being deployed via helicopter in two groups.
Bhupender Yadav alleged that the Kerala government sanctioned numerous developments in Wayanad over the past four years, including non-coal mining projects, without conducting a comprehensive study of the district's topography and geomorphology.
Rich countries, historically responsible for the climate crisis, in 2009 pledged to mobilize $100 billion per year by 2020 to help developing countries address climate change. However, this target has not been fully met, with much of the financial aid provided as loans at market rates, increasing the debt burden on poor and vulnerable countries. These nations now require trillions to effectively combat the climate crisis.
The relentless floodwaters and landslides have left many areas isolated, prompting the use of drones by rescuers to access these hard-hit locations. The Indian Air Force (IAF) has deployed Chinook and MI17 helicopters to assist in the evacuation of 800 pilgrims stranded on the dangerous trek to Kedarnath. These evacuations are dependent on favorable weather conditions and are expected to take place on Aug 3.
