High humidity levels leach the water from your system more slowly than high temperatures, but cause dehydration nonetheless. So don’t wait till you feel thirsty to drink water, and be sure to get your minimum of eight glasses a day. Clear away any stagnant water in and around your living spaces, to lower risk of dengue and malaria infections. Monsoon is also breeding season for many fish species, so keep away and let nature replenish its reserves. You can also add a few neem leaves to the water while washing clothes, for a natural mold-repellent.
