Suggestions for Software & IT Professionals

- Enable offline access for critical files and code repositories.
- Schedule backups during non-peak hours to avoid bandwidth bottlenecks.
2. Commute Smart
- Avoid peak hours during heavy rain forecasts—use apps like Google Maps or OneTouch Delhi for real-time traffic and waterlogging alerts.

- Use surge protectors and UPS systems to safeguard laptops and servers from power fluctuations.
- Keep devices elevated to avoid water damage in case of leaks or flooding.
- Dry bags or waterproof sleeves are a must if you’re carrying tech gear outdoors.
4. Maintain Wellness
- Humidity can drain energy—stay hydrated and take short breaks to stretch or walk indoors.
- Use blue-light filters and ambient lighting to reduce strain during cloudy days.
- Mental health check-ins with your team can go a long way in keeping morale high.
5. Plan Ahead
- Reschedule outdoor meetings or shoots to avoid last-minute cancellations.
- Monitor weather APIs if your app or service depends on real-time environmental data.
- Update clients proactively about potential delays due to weather-related disruptions.
