Heavy rain is expected across many areas of Singapore on Tuesday (Nov 10) afternoon.

The Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS) said in a heavy rain warning issued at 2.27pm that thundery showers are expected between 3pm and 4pm.

Checks on the MSS' weather radar at 2.30pm show moderate to heavy rain clouds to the south and south-west of Singapore.

Meanwhile, national water agency PUB said that flash flood has occurred at the junction of West Coast Road and West Coast Way, near Japanese Kindergarten.

The flash flood later subsided at 3pm. 

PUB has also issued flood risk alerts for the following areas:

  • West Coast Way, till 3.25pm
  • MacKenzie Road, near Bukit Timah Road, till 3.52pm
  • Junction of Balmoral Road and Stevens Road, till 3.55pm
  • Bencoolen Street, till 4pm

In its fortnightly weather updated issued on Oct 29, MSS said that moderate to heavy thundery showers are expected over parts of the island on most days in the first half of November, with the showers extending into the evening on a few days.

The onset of the inter-monsoon period, with light and variable winds, has also put an end to the haze season this year.
