MediaCorp’s hotline received many calls of water ponding and floods along Desker Road, roads around Jalan Besar, outside SingTel building near Somerset MRT station and along Orchard Road in front of the Marriot Hotel.
A check with the National Environment Agency (NEA) found that the early morning downpour was due to Southwest Monsoon conditions.
The NEA said that widespread showers with thunder and gusty winds are likely for one or two days in the pre—dawn hours and early morning.
The Agency’s forecast for the next two days also calls for morning showers with thunder.
