Hello guys. How is it going?
Indonesia, located near the equator, experiences two main seasons: the dry season and the rainy season. The dry season typically runs from May to October, bringing sunny skies and lower humidity perfect for travel and outdoor activities.
In contrast, the rainy season lasts from November to April, with frequent rain showers and higher humidity, driven by monsoon winds. Despite the seasonal changes, temperatures remain fairly consistent year-round, averaging between 25–30°C.
This tropical climate supports lush rainforests, diverse wildlife, and year-round agriculture. Whether rain or shine, Indonesia’s natural beauty remains a year-round attraction for visitors and locals alike.
In Indonesia, where rain can come suddenly, raincoats or jas hujan are essential. The most common type is the poncho style, which is loose-fitting and often used by motorcyclists for its quick coverage.
When the rainy season arrives, there are definitely a few things we all need to prepare whether we're staying at home or planning to go out. Especially here in Pontianak, where I currently live, the rainy season has already started a few weeks ago.
So in today’s post, I’d like to share some simple tips to stay safe while driving during the rainy season. What do you need to prepare when you're heading out, especially if you're driving in the rain? Check out the tips below!
1. Bring a Raincoat
There are lots of benefits to keeping a raincoat or poncho ready in your vehicle especially if you ride a motorcycle. Always have one tucked away in your motorbike seat or under the seat in a neat way.
Any type of raincoat will do as long as it keeps you safe and comfortable. You can use the wide poncho-style ones or the full-set kind with pants and a top. Just make sure it does the job well!
2. Prepare Plastic Bags
Rain equals water lots of it. So be extra careful with what you carry in your bag like your phone, charger, ID cards, cash, and any important documents. You don’t want them getting soaked, right?
Here’s a handy trick: use clear plastic bags to wrap your items. Even simple snack or sandwich bags work great. Want extra protection? Wrap your stuff again with a larger black plastic bag. Double up if needed it gives you peace of mind knowing your things are safe from the rain.
Hope these tips help you stay dry and safe out there when the rainy days hit. Stay prepared and ride smart!

" The two-piece set, with a jacket and pants, offers better protection during heavy rain. For walking, the coat style provides a longer, more stylish option.
Meanwhile, disposable raincoats are lightweight and convenient for short-term use or emergencies. Each model serves different needs, whether commuting, riding, or traveling, making them a must-have item during Indonesia’s rainy season from November to April."
