Even though we have weather forecast apps on our phones, we still can't tell for sure if the day will bring a little bit of rain, which is why is better to always be prepared just in case. There are tech gadgets that would make sure of that, and here are a couple you might want to get for yourself.
1. Waterproof Laptop Bag
If you're going to work and you need to bring your laptop with you, make sure that you put it in a bag that cannot be penetrated by liquid. A waterproof bag will make sure that your laptop will not be damaged by liquids. It's best to get one that has a lot of space so you can also store other things that need to be kept dry like phones and paperwork.
2. Light Up Umbrellas
Umbrellas are a given when it comes to rainy days, so why not make it cooler by purchasing one that looks like a lightsaber? What's more, is that the light will not only be a cool feature, but it can also add visibility when you're walking on a sidewalk, and pouring rain makes it harder for vehicles to see pedestrians.
3. Waterproof Earbuds
There's something soothing about listening to music while it's raining. If you do that while you're outside, there's a chance that your earphones will get water damage from the rain. To prevent that, you can buy waterproof wireless earbuds.
The Anker Sport X10 is IPX7-rated in terms of being waterproof and has a secure fit so you won't have to worry about it falling off. You can use it for up eight hours listening to music and three full recharges with the case.
4. Coffee Maker
Nothing like a nice hot cup of joe when it's cold and rainy outside. If you plan on drinking a lot of coffee, you might as well buy a coffee machine to make your life easier. The Keurig K-Mini single-serve will allow you to make between 6-12 oz of coffee in just a few minutes. It's small enough that you can place it anywhere, even in your bedroom if you want to.

5. Heated Blanket
In the event that a hot cup of coffee isn't enough to keep you warm, an electric-heated blanket should do the trick. This particular heated blanket can be controlled wirelessly through Wi-Fi, or you can simply use the remote that comes with the item.
Through the app, you'll be able to regulate the temperature as well as adjust the timer. Since you can turn it on remotely, you can give it time to warm up before you actually use it. It's also a good gift for your grandparents so they can stay cozy.
6. Shoe Dryer
You can't prevent your shoes from getting wet especially if the rain is pouring hard, and you can't exactly just leave it like that or they will start to develop an odor or get damaged. You can get yourself a shoe dryer to avoid that.
Electric show dryers emit warm air inside the footwear to dry it faster, but not hot enough to damage it. It does so continuously for hours to deodorize the shoes and remove dampness and sweat. Some models have anti-bacterial features to further avoid unpleasant odors.
