So, although the monsoons are considered to be "cozy and romantic", the reality of the situation can be rather disappointing, especially in some countries, with pre-existing public infrastructure issues.

When the drainage systems in the streets are not well-planned it leads to the rain water getting stagnated, leading to a number of health issues among the citizens.

Also, during the rainy season, there is a lot of moisture in the air and the temperature could drop down to a considerable extent.
