Windows that are hard to close or whose latches don’t lock properly are just annoying in dry weather—but in monsoon, they become a problem. Strong winds and sideways rain can push water through any gap they find.
If you test all latches before the rainy season—open, close, lock, unlock—you can spot those that are misaligned, rusty, or stuck. Getting a carpenter or handyman to adjust them in good weather is easy.
Waiting until the first big storm means climbing up with tools in damp conditions, towels on the floor, and water already entering. A quick pre-monsoon check saves you from that drama.
