The weather is not the same as it used to be. Ask the elderly, your parents, older siblings, or even your grandparents about the weather during their younger years and it is pretty much the same answer. It has become more unpredictable now than before. With thunderstorms and heavy rain suddenly falling or even the sun shining brightly in months or days that used to be a day for rain and downpour. It has become erratic that sometimes trusting your phone AI’s and weather reports can be hard and sometimes a wrong move.
It is in this light that preparation and anticipating the sudden weather change is important for your daily travel, activities, and even personal decisions so as to not result in hassle and stress. Leaving your house and lot in Cavite or condo in Las Pinas might be a decision you will regret once you are caught in the heavy traffic brought about by flooding and heavy rain in major road thoroughfares so make sure to plan and prepare well for such scenarios.
Be Prepared for the Sudden Change in the Weather
With the uncertainty of what the weather will be it’s always better to be ready and prepared. It’s better to be equipped than to regret later on amidst the downpour that you did not bring an umbrella or even had your car checked for issues that might affect your travel in the middle of the rain. With that in mind, Crown Asia listed down some tips to help you prepare for the unpredictability of the Philippine weather!
Always Carry the Essentials

Rosa, Laguna.
