Heavy rain and strong winds during the stormy season not only make driving difficult but also pose risks when parking in public areas. Therefore, when using a car during this season, drivers should be cautious and observant when choosing a parking spot.
Below are areas to avoid parking during stormy weather:
Near advertising billboards
It is best to avoid parking your car near advertising billboards during stormy weather. These billboards are often large and suspended at a height, which can pose a risk of falling and causing damage to your vehicle.
Near utility poles
While most utility poles are built to withstand strong winds, strong gusts can still cause accidents such as electrical leaks or even pole collapse. To ensure safety, park your car at a safe distance from utility poles and always follow traffic regulations.

While parking under a tree can provide shade from the sun, it can also be dangerous during stormy weather. Strong winds can cause branches to fall and damage your car. In case of extremely strong gusts, the tree may even be uprooted and fall on your vehicle.
Near construction sites
Parking near construction sites is not recommended as strong winds can cause building materials and debris to fall on your car.
Areas lower than the road level
During the rainy season, many areas are prone to flooding. Therefore, avoid parking your car in low-lying areas that are easily flooded. If you don’t move your car in time, the rising water levels can cause damage to your vehicle’s components.
Steep slopes or unstable terrain
Areas with steep slopes or unstable ground are not safe for parking during stormy weather. The heavy rain can cause landslides, and the rushing water can carry debris that may damage your car.
Underground tunnels
Underground tunnels are prone to flooding during heavy rainfall. Parking your car in these tunnels can result in water damage if the drainage system is overwhelmed.
