IT HAS been a wetter-than-usual March - with over 60 per cent of the month's total average rainfall pouring down - in just one day.
A record 113.4mm of rain fell across Singapore on Wednesday - the highest daily rainfall so far this month. And based on the weatherman's three-day outlook, heavy rain is expected to continue, at least until the weekend.
The freakishly wet weather is due to a 'moderately strong La Nina' in the Pacific Ocean, said the National Environment Agency's Meteorological Service.
The result - moisture-laden winds blowing in from the east, forming massive rain clouds over the region, explained the weatherman.
Although Wednesday's downpour was still shy of March's historical record rainfall of 528.3mm in 1913, it has been the highest recorded daily rainfall so far this month.
Areas in the west like Choa Chu Kang and Bukit Panjang, experienced some of the heaviest rainfall - crossing the 100mm mark in the afternoon.
Thunderstorms in the area also cut visibility down to 1,500m in the afternoon.
Visibility on a clear day usually surpasses 10,000m. But national water agency PUB said no floods were reported. http://www.straitstimes.com/Latest%2...ry_216050.html |
