SINGAPORE – Many reports of fallen trees surfaced on social media platforms after heavy rain on Sept 17 evening.

A resident who lives near Mount Faber told The Straits Times that he was running up the hill when he experienced strong winds and saw tree branches falling.

“The next moment, one part of the tree that was in front of me fell,” he said, adding that it was the first time he has witnessed a tree falling since he started exercising in that area about five years ago.

“The route is a one-way road, so all the vehicles and I had to turn around and leave the area.”

Photos and videos seen by ST show fallen trees in various locations in Singapore, including Beach Road, Xilin Avenue, Jalan Membina and on the Pan-Island Expressway before the Bukit Timah Expressway exit.

On Sept 16, the Meteorological Service Singapore said more rainfall is forecast in the latter half of the fortnight, adding that thundery showers could be widespread and heavy on some of these days.

Sumatra squalls may also bring widespread thundery showers and gusty winds on a few days, the weatherman said.

ST has contacted the National Environment Agency and NParks for more info.
