Rain

Check visibility and tires before storms, plan official alternate routes, and know when to delay travel or stop instead of attempting a crossing.

Prepare for darker commutes, leaves, wet roads, and cooler starts without opening inaccessible drains or assuming a clean car is mechanically ready.

Inspect and wet-test wipers while parked, use the correct replacement fit, and distinguish blade wear from glass, arm, or washer-system faults.
