Stay Prepared: 3 Must-Have Tech for the Rainy Months

Here in the Philippines, we have two seasons: dry and rainy. There are no fall leaves or winter snow, just heat and humidity… or rain and humidity. And when the rainy season comes, it isn’t enough to just have an umbrella anymore. 

Sadly, some areas are prone to flooding because of all the typhoons. This means moisture buildup, power outages, and worst, flooding inside the house. That’s why your home setup needs to be ready for the wet months. Here are three devices that we can recommend for any WFG setup.

Let’s start with the APC UPS BVX650I_PH. Think of it as your setup’s safety net when the power cuts. This Uninterruptible Power Supply doesn’t just keep your devices running during a sudden blackout—it gives you extra time to save your files and shut things down properly. This avoids short circuits that can happen in your devices. Now, in a country where storms almost every month, this piece of tech is literally a device life saver.

Next, the Aeotec Water Sensor 6. This tiny gadget might not look like much, but it’s basically your early warning system for leaks and floods. If you slip it near your PC area, under appliances, or in corners of the house prone to pooling water, it’ll notify you when it detects moisture. That way, you can act before a small leak turns into a disaster.

Lastly, the Xiaomi Dehumidifier Lite. Rainy season equals damp air, and damp air equals mold and musty smells that will affect your hardware. A dehumidifier like this one keeps humidity in check, making your room more comfortable and protecting your devices from long-term damage. It also keeps your space feeling fresh. Have you ever entered a room and felt sticky? Yeah, it's because your space is extremely damp, so you may want to get this. 

The rainy season is a hassle, but with the right tools, you can make it a lot more bearable. If you are keen on upgrading your living space further, you can check out more devices available in our Next Upgrade Shop!
