A torrential downpour early Friday morning triggered flash floods across the island. Areas like Upper Thomson Road, Bugis and Jalan Boon Lay were the hardest hit. Heavy rain was also reported in Changi, Eunos, Jurong East, Tampines and Sims Avenue.
The flood also caused morning rush hour traffic to come to a virtual standstill on all major expressways in Singapore. Dissipating within a half-hour, however, this flood was short-lived, as compared to the earlier flooding of Orchard Road.
Social media and micro-blogging sites such as Facebook and Twitter were awash with flood photos and users exchanging pictures.
It was reported that the heavy downpour on Friday Morning was equivalent to about 60 percent of the average monthly rainfall for June
