Today's weather is really unfriendly. For several days now the sky has looked cloudy and it has been raining continuously from morning to evening. This made people around me prefer to stay at home and not go out because of the heavy rain accompanied by thunderstorms.
The impact of this bad weather can also be seen from several incidents around this area. Several areas experienced flooding and bridges were broken due to high river water levels. This disrupts access to transportation and people have to look for alternative routes for their daily activities.
Apart from that, the economy in this area was also affected by this bad weather. Several traders in markets and grocery stalls experienced a decline in sales due to the lack of buyers coming due to heavy rain. Farmers are also worried about their crops being waterlogged and the possibility of crop failure.
With weather conditions like this, we are reminded to be more alert and careful. We must always pay attention to weather forecast information so that we can anticipate bad possibilities that might occur. We also need to help each other if there is an emergency such as a flood or a bridge breaking so we can deal with the problem quickly.
Even though this bad weather has a negative impact on some people, we still have to be grateful because rain is also a blessing from God. Hopefully with sufficient rainfall, the soil will become fertile and plants can grow well. Hopefully the weather will improve soon and we can return to our normal activities.
