You should choose clothes that are comfortable to wear and dry quickly. And you should pack more clothes in case it gets wet or doesn't dry in time, including shoes with rubber soles that can grip the road or rocks well to reduce the chance of slipping and falling.

You should check your health and prepare your body before traveling to prevent illness during the trip, especially during the rainy season where there is a risk of catching a cold or respiratory disease. You should drink enough water and vitamins for a traveling trip in the rainy season, which may be more extreme than a trip in other seasons.

You should always carry essential medicines and a first aid kit with you, especially if you have a chronic disease as in some places it may be difficult to find medicine. Or if you have your favorite inhalant and balm, you can take it with you to the trip as well.

You should choose a place that is suitable for traveling in the rainy season. Meanwhile, you should find information about the locations and how to travel to those places in detail. Furthermore, you should get updated information from reliable sources, such as reviews of travel in the rainy season, official information about which month it rains the most, or try choosing activities to do during the rainy season that are safe and fun.

You should prepare rain gear such as umbrellas, raincoats, waterproof shoes, boots, and rain bags to prevent the items you bring from getting wet or damaged, including a large canvas in case of emergencies.
