If you live in Quito, the valleys, or hillside neighborhoods, keep an eye on drainage, access roads and commute timing through Wednesday morning.

Practical steps:

• Avoid crossing flooded roads
• Leave extra time for airport trips through Tababela
• Watch for landslide-prone slopes after heavy rain
