These areas are prone to poor drainage and blocked stormwater outlets, and even slight rainfall turns into long traffic delays.Commuters are advised to monitor real-time traffic updates and use alternate routes during heavy rainfall hours, especially during morning and evening rush. Office-goers, students, and delivery workers may face frequent disruptions, while those planning outdoor events might want to reschedule or plan indoor alternatives.
