Trees felled by strong winds as heavy rain hit Singapore

The Meteorological Service Singapore on Monday warned that monsoon conditions are forecast to persist over Singapore and the surrounding region over the next two weeks, with low-level winds blowing from the south or west on most days.

“Sumatra squalls may bring widespread thundery showers and gusty winds during the pre-dawn hours and morning on a few days,” said the agency.

“More rainfall is forecast in the latter half of the fortnight, with thundery showers expected on most afternoons. The thundery showers could be widespread and heavy on some of these days.”
