Weather in Singapore 2021 and up
« on: January 05, 2021, 05:33:37 PM »
The new year opened with more freak weather for Singapore after nonstop rainfall led to rare landslides and floods across the country over the weekend.

The incidents occurred as weather officials reported a high of 210.6 millimeters of rainfall in Changi over the weekend, with temperatures plunging to 21 degrees Celsius in places including Newton. Mudslides were captured near expressways as well as floods in several places including the 3-kilometer nature park connecting Bishan and Ang Mo Kio.

In the east, piles of mud fell into a drain near the expressway in Loyang Avenue, destroying its railings. More mud slid off a hill next to the Furama Riverfront Hotel in Outram, disrupting its service road. In the west, a landslide in Chua Chu Kang caused a tree to fall and block an expressway.

The heaviest rainfall in Sunday's (Dec 29) deluge was 134.6mm, recorded in central Singapore from 3.15pm to 5.25pm.
Due to heavy rain on Sunday there were reports of flash flooding in the Bukit Timah neighborhood.

According to the national water agency PUB, many parts of Singapore experienced heavy rainfall on Sunday afternoon. Due to high water levels in the adjacent drains and Bukit Timah Canal, flash floods started to occur around 5 pm along Dunearn Road and Bukit Timah Road near King Albert Park.

In a Sunday afternoon Facebook post, the agency stated, "PUB's Quick Response Teams were deployed ahead of the rain and later closed off affected lanes, directing traffic away from floodwaters." It was 20 minutes until the flash floods stopped.

The Bukit Timah area is prone to floods, according to PUB, and within the previous 10 years, drainage enhancement projects have been completed along the Bukit Timah Canal and Bukit Timah First Diversion Canal.
