The amount corresponds to 80 per cent of Singapore’s average monthly rainfall in October.
SINGAPORE - The western part of Singapore recorded one of the country’s heaviest downpours in 40 years in the morning of Oct 14, with thunderstorms blanketing the island.
“This amount corresponds to 80 per cent of Singapore’s average monthly rainfall in October, and lies within the top 1 per cent of maximum daily rainfall records since 1978,” PUB said. PUB said it issued flood risk warnings for 15 locations, including Dunearn Road in Bukit Timah, Sunset Way Estate, parts of Bedok and Jalan Seaview off Mountbatten Road.
The flood on Dunearn Road also affected the sidewalk and bus stops there, and was due to the high water levels in the adjacent drains and the Bukit Timah Canal, said PUB, adding that the waters subsided within 20 minutes.
