Singapore experienced flooding and cooler temperatures due to a monsoon surge bringing heavy showers and windy conditions. The National Environment Agency (NEA) predicted the surge, causing temperatures to drop to 21.6 degrees Celsius on Saturday. Flash flood warnings were issued in Jalan Seaview and Jalan Pokok Serunai, with water levels reaching ankle-deep in some areas.
Flooding at Jalan Seaview on Jan 10.The temperature dipped to 21.6 degrees Celsius on Saturday morning after ongoing rains battered Singapore since the previous day.This comes after the National Environment Agency predicted on Jan 9 that a monsoon surge , referring to a sudden strengthening of wind speeds that causes cold air to rush southwards in the South China Sea, would bring rainy and windy weather to the island between Jan 10 and 13.
The Public Utilities Board also issued flash flood warnings on Jan 10 in Jalan Seaview, located off the junction of Mountbatten Road and Tanjong Katong Road South, as well as Jalan Pokok Serunai. At Jalan Seaview, AsiaOne observed that water levels were ankle-deep before 10pm and almost at mid-calf around 11pm on Friday, with canals nearly overflowing. This coincided with the high tide at 9.46pm, which led to slower discharge of water.
Motorists generally avoided the area, apart from residents returning home and service vehicles on standby.
