PUB had issued flood risk warnings for 13 locations, including in Punggol, Yishun, Toa Payoh and Bukit Timah, where the heavy rain resulted in high water levels in drains and canals.
The agency said in a Facebook post that flash floods occurred at three locations:
- Yishun Avenue 7 (near intersection of Yishun Street 22)
- Punggol Way (slip road to Tampines Expressway)
- Kallang Expressway (slip road to Buangkok East Drive)
PUB added that the heaviest rainfall of around 114mm was recorded in the northern part of Singapore from 12.55pm to 2.45pm.
This amount corresponds to 47 per cent of Singapore's average monthly rainfall in April, and lies within the top 2 per cent of maximum daily rainfall records since 1978.
