The weather agency on Saturday sounded an orange alert for Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Pathanamthitta, and Idukki.
The cyclone is unlikely to affect the state significantly
The heat wave is comparatively less in the southern part of the state, though the mercury in all districts, except Thiruvananthapuram, crossed 35-degrees Celsius in the last few days.
