Authorities urge residents to monitor weather updates and avoid unnecessary travel during heavy rains. Motorists should drive cautiously on wet roads, while pedestrians must watch for flooding. Farmers are advised to manage crops accordingly, as excessive rainfall may damage harvests. The PMD will continue to provide real-time alerts for severe weather conditions.
