Rainy Season Travel Guides

No one wants their trip affected by the rain. But how do we deal with the unexpected bad weather conditions like rain or storms? Traveling in the rainy season will be much more difficult than when the weather is nice, especially for mountain biking, mountain passes or travelling to the sea. Therefore, in order to make the trip safer, in addition to updating weather forecasts, there are some other things to avoid.

Travel items to bring

The raincoat should be thin, or you can bring a folding umbrella which can be placed on the side of the backpack for convenience and not take much space in case of unexpected rain.

Do not forget to bring a shawl, it will help keep yourself warm better and avoid the unusual sensation of the body when the weather changes abruptly.

Bring the dryer to dry clothes and things you prepare when it rains. If the shoes are wet, you can stuff tissues inside the shoes and then dry them.

Use water- proof bags when going on a trip in the rainy season

When traveling, it is necessary to have a raincoat in the bottom of the backpack so that when it rains, it can be pulled up to cover all the backpack. Waterproof bag should be folded in a small compartment of the backpack, when it is needed, it can be used to cover the phone or camera. Also, if possible, bring a few more plastic bags of different sizes to cover the items carefully.

Avoid going to the sea, climbing mountains on rainy days

Riding the jungle road is always a pleasure of many people, but when planning a trip that was predicted to rain near the departure day, there should be a backup plan to record the address of guests houses, hotels, motels in case when you do not go down the hill before the night, there are still rooms to avoid rainstorms.

Bad situations such as lightning, falling trees, flash floods ... can be life-threatening when you are too subjective and do not pay attention to the dangers.
