Singapore issues flash flood warnings, authorities highlights danger zones

Singapore's authorities have issued flash flood warnings, specifically highlighting two danger zones in the city-state. The National Water Agency (PUB) has advised the public to avoid the traffic junction at Pesawat Drive and Jurong Port Road, as well as Jalan Boon Lay between International Road and Enterprise Road, between 2.13pm and 3.10pm.
This comes after the National Environment Agency (NEA) forecasted heavy rain over northern, western, and central districts during this time frame. The NEA had previously cautioned about the likelihood of short, thundery showers most days during the second half of the month, particularly in the late morning and afternoon. Singapore has experienced higher rainfall during this period compared to the first fortnight of September, leading to several flash flood risk alerts from PUB in recent days.
