After four consecutive years of below-average rainfall, Wayanad has recorded significantly high rainfall between June 2024 and May 2025, according to the Kalpetta-based Hume Centre for Ecology and Wildlife Biology.
The centre attributed the sudden increase to a normal southwest monsoon onset in 2024, followed by an early onset in May 2025, leading to prolonged wet conditions across the district.
As per the rainfall monitoring data, Lakkidi recorded the highest rainfall in the district, with a staggering 7,611 mm over the 12-month period. Mattillayam (7,022 mm) and Niravilpuzha (6,463 mm) also reported exceptionally high totals, according to the centre.
