Running your AC during monsoon season? 5 hidden risks you must know about

As the monsoon season sweeps across India, millions of people rely on air conditioning to keep cool indoors. While the monsoon season does alter how we use our air conditioners, people sometimes overlook the risks of running AC units during heavy rain. In India, where humidity spikes during the rainy season, failing to adjust an air conditioner for these conditions can lead to unexpected problems. From higher energy costs, equipment damage, to health concerns, the monsoon demands more attention to your AC care than the scorching summer months. The monsoon season brings high humidity, which puts a strain on air conditioners and can lead to health, cost and maintenance issues.(AI generated) Unlike summer, the main challenge during monsoon is not heat but moisture in the air. Air conditioners must work harder to remove this excess humidity. Running your unit in regular 'Cool Mode' may not be effective enough. Switching to 'Dry Mode' helps reduce moisture without excessive cooling, saving energy and lowering your electricity bill. Also read: Think that new Minecraft mod is safe?

If these parts are not cleaned regularly, mould and mildew can develop, causing musty odours and potentially triggering respiratory problems like coughing and sneezing. Cleaning the filters every couple of weeks is a simple maintenance step that improves air quality and keeps your system running smoothly.

Power Fluctuations Can Damage Your AC Monsoon rains often cause power outages and voltage drops, especially in cities like Mumbai and Delhi. If it is not protected by a voltage stabiliser or surge protector, sudden electrical fluctuations can harm your AC's internal components. Using these devices is essential for preventing premature wear and costly repairs. 4. Outdoor Unit Exposure to Rain Can Affect Performance The outdoor component of your split AC system is vulnerable to rainwater, standing water, and clogged drains during monsoon. These conditions can lead to rust or mechanical issues, reducing the efficiency of your unit. Positioning the outdoor unit in a sheltered area with proper drainage or inspecting it after heavy rains helps avoid damage.

Setting your air conditioning to a very low temperature, such as 18 degrees Celsius, can cause discomfort and health problems, including sore throats and body aches. Maintaining a moderate temperature of between 24 and 26 degrees Celsius, combined with a fan to circulate the air, is more comfortable and avoids such risks. In short, by keeping these points in mind, you can use your air conditioner more effectively during the rainy season, protecting both your health and your appliance.

Siruvani water supply hit in Coimbatore after pipeline damage, ongoing repairs underway

COIMBATORE: Drinking water supply from the Siruvani Dam to the residential areas of the Coimbatore district has been severely affected following back-to-back pipeline works that are being carried out by the Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage (TWAD) Board and the Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation (CCMC) over the past week. The disruption began earlier last week when the civic body began to carry out critical interlinking works, reducing the supply from 100 million litres per day (MLD) to 50 MLD. These works aim to connect the Siruvani pipeline with the Pillur Scheme-3 to improve water management during periods of low dam storage. Just as the works neared completion, a fresh setback occurred last Friday. A major Siruvani pipeline was accidentally damaged during road-widening work by the State Highways Department near Kalampalayam on the Siruvani Main Road. The mishap led to the loss of thousands of litres of treated drinking water and disrupted supply to areas like Kurichi and Kuniyamuthur. The TWAD Board is now working on emergency repairs. Officials said full restoration of the supply is expected soon after the remaining joint-packing and repair works are completed. As of Sunday, the water level in the dam stood at 40.34 feet, well below its full capacity of 49.53 ft. Only 66.32 MLD is currently being drawn, against the agreed supply of 101.4 MLD.
