The recommended destinations that you can visit safely during the rainy season include several art galleries and indoor tourist attractions.
Tourist destinations that should be avoided during the rainy season include: mountains, sea and river estuaries. The reason is, these three locations have a high risk if visited during the rainy season.
Prepare your belongings well

Once the tourist destination has been decided, then prepare your luggage well. Because the weather is rainy, it’s a good idea to use a waterproof backpack. Apart from that, don’t forget to bring personal equipment such as thick clothes, socks, gloves and sandals.
All of this luggage is a must in your bag whatever type of transportation you use while on holiday, from trains, buses, to private cars or motorbikes. If you bring a private car or motorbike, don’t forget to bring the necessary documents such as your driver’s license and vehicle registration.
Don’t forget to bring vitamins and medicine

You shouldn’t miss this when preparing for a holiday trip! Even though you have made sure your body is fit before the trip, still take precautions by bringing vitamins and basic medicines.
A number of basic medicines that you can prepare include: medicine for flu, colds, headaches and diarrhea. Therefore, make sure your body is always fit for at least one week before the trip.
Always Bring Rainy Season Equipment

The rainy season can sometimes be unpredictable, so don’t forget to always bring an umbrella and raincoat when traveling. Especially if you decide to go on holiday using a two-wheeled vehicle. Never forget to bring a coat.
Meanwhile, using an umbrella will be very useful if you have to walk around the tourist area but the atmosphere is still drizzling. So, still bring an umbrella even if you take a car, okay?
Always monitor the latest weather conditions throughout the journey

Along the way, the weather may change according to initial predictions. For this reason, take the time to check the latest weather forecast along the way. If weather monitoring shows that your journey will involve heavy rain, stop your vehicle for a moment and wait a few moments.
Even if you use a car, it’s a good idea not to drive when it’s raining heavily. Use this time to rest at the nearest rest area. If the intensity of the rain has decreased, please continue your journey.
Check the condition of the vehicle before leaving

One thing that is important but also rarely done by some people before the holidays is checking the condition of the vehicle. As a result, you will often find cases of vehicles breaking down while traveling.
To avoid experiencing this, carry out routine vehicle checks at a repair shop at least 7 days before departure. If the vehicle’s engine really needs to be repaired, the repair shop technician still has enough time to repair it.
Applying the 6 tips above is not a guarantee that your holiday trip will be safer. However, by implementing these 6 tips, at least unwanted risks can be minimized.
Happy holidays and stay safe, Beauties!
