SINGAPORE - Sweater weather continued for the second day of the new year in Singapore, with wet and windy conditions on Saturday (Jan 2).
The National Environment Agency (NEA) said on Facebook that widespread continuous rain, heavy at times and with thunder, was expected to continue on Saturday and ease gradually in the night.
It added later that while the rain was set to clear overnight, thundery showers are likely on Sunday afternoon following a cloudy morning.
The wet weather has been so persistent that the 318.6mm of rain that fell in Changi on Friday, the first day of this year, was more than the average of 238.3mm for the month of January, said national water agency PUB on Saturday on Facebook.
The downpour on New Year s Day has resulted in flooding on some roads in Singapore.
One of the affected roads was a junction at Pasir Ris Farmway. The flooding was so severe that the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) had to be activated to assist drivers who were stuck on the road on Jan 1. Photo courtesy of So Solomon.
