Monday morning brought an absolute torrent of rain across most parts of Singapore today — the downpours were heavy enough to cause flash floods in several areas.

Most of the flooding was contained in the eastern part of the island, according to updates by the Public Utilities Board (PUB). A series of tweets warned the public about flash floods at Upper Changi Road, Jalan Nipah, Arumugam Road, Tampines Avenue 12, Bedok North Avenue 4, and Sims Avenue.

The flash floods started as early as 8:30am, and traffic was still able to pass through — except for Jalan Nipah.

Pictures and videos of the flooding have already gone up on social media, showcasing the extent of the morning torrent.

As water levels eventually fell, the flash floods started subsiding just before 10am.
