The Goa health department is sending warnings to people who aren't storing water safely, because of the start of pre-monsoon rains.

They are worried about dengue fever, which is spread by mosquitoes.

If people don't throw out stagnant water, which mosquitos need to breed, they could get in trouble.

Last year there were a lot of dengue cases, but this year it seems to be a little better.

They want people to be careful and cover up so mosquitos don't bite them.
