Before you travel, keep an eye on weather forecasts for your destination and the route you'll take.
Carry waterproof clothing, umbrellas, and rain covers for your bags to stay dry during sudden downpours.
Choose appropriate waterproof and slip-resistant shoes or sandals to navigate wet and slippery terrain.
Even in the rain, it's important to stay hydrated. Carry a reusable water bottle and drink regularly.
Keep a basic first aid kit handy for minor injuries and ailments that can occur during travel.
Steer clear of flooded streets, rivers, and streams. It's difficult to judge the depth of water, and flooding can be dangerous.
If you're driving, maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, switch on headlights, and drive at a reduced speed to avoid accidents on wet roads.
Monsoon brings insects. Carry insect repellent to protect yourself from mosquito-borne diseases.
Be aware of local conditions, such as landslides or flash floods, and follow local advice or warnings.
Save local emergency numbers, contacts of your embassy or consulate, and your accommodation's contact details.
