El Nino Watch

Preparedness: power cuts

Monsoon storms and heat waves cause outages. Without power: no fan or air conditioning, no pump for the house tank, no phone charging.

Preparedness

Keep power banks charged, headlamps and spare batteries, and a battery-powered fan for hot nights. If you have a generator or solar panel, test it. Remember that many houses need electricity to pump water from the tank.
