Avoid going to the beach or hiking in rainy or stormy weather. The weather can be unpredictable, and it's best not to swim in the sea if you happen to be at the beach during a stormy day.

If you choose to travel by motorcycle but encounter rainy weather, avoid traveling at night. You can opt to stay overnight and continue your journey the next morning. Alternatively, if you must travel urgently, consider renting a bus for safety. Dangerous situations like lightning strikes, fallen trees, or flash floods can threaten your life if you're too complacent.
When traveling by motorcycle, it's advisable to use a helmet with a visor. Rainwater splashing onto your face can cause irritation and discomfort, making it difficult to keep your eyes open to observe the road.

Don't forget to pack your personal medicine bag when traveling, including cold medicine, bandages, oxygen, insect bite treatment, menthol balm, pain relievers, common antibiotics, etc., to prepare for unexpected illnesses or accidents in unfamiliar places.
