   Really wish the landlord would put proper covers on whatever electrical stuff on the roof trips the main circuit breaker during storms and heavy rain.

     @clacke That sounds absolutely terrifying, in no small part because I spend a lot of time learning about home construction and electrical wiring and can't fathom what would even do that.

     @ocdtrekkie I imagine some sockets without proper covers.

     It didn't happen before, but it happened during the strong typhoon two weeks ago and the strong rain last week, and today only somewhat strong rain (50 mm/h) tripped it. Currently it won't come on again, I'll try again in a bit. I don't have access to the roof.

     They dismantled something on the roof after the storm, a shed of some kind. That might have uncovered something that was previously protected.

     Ok, now it didn't trip immediately. Fridge is still at 4 °C, freezer went from -19 °C to -13 °C.

     Rain stopped a few hours ago, so hopefully we're out of it for this time around.

     Kind of don't want to go on any longer trips now before I move to a place where the landlord answers calls and addresses things like this.

     @clacke If it takes a little while before power goes out and then delays power coming on for hours after the rain stops, it may be a roof leak dripping onto a vulnerable spot in the building's wiring.
     
     (One house where I lived had this problem. Years after I moved away, the landlord sold the house for a fraction of the going price, which makes me suspect they never repaired that and other issues.)
