Avoid Thomson Road stretch near Thomson Medical Centre due to risk of flash floods: PUB

Motorists in Singapore are advised to avoid a section of Thomson Road near the Thomson Medical Centre on June 12 due to the risk of flash flooding. The Public Utilities Board (PUB) issued a warning via social media, stating that flash floods could occur between approximately 11:20 am and 12:20 pm. This follows earlier warnings from the National Environment Agency (NEA) about moderate to heavy thundery showers across parts of Singapore. The Meteorological Service Singapore has also noted that short, thundery showers are likely during the first two weeks of June.

SINGAPORE – Motorists should steer clear of Jalan Boon Lay in Jurong West following a deluge on the morning of June 11.

National water agency PUB in a post on social media platform X at 9.49am alerted motorists to stay away from Jalan Boon Lay (from International Road to Enterprise Road) for the next hour owing to the risk of flash floods.

Short and thundery showers are expected over parts of Singapore on some late mornings and early afternoons in the first two weeks of June, said the Meteorological Service Singapore in its fortnightly weather forecast.

The first half of June is also expected to have widespread thundery showers and gusty winds in the pre-dawn hours and early morning on a few days, brought about by Sumatra squalls.

Total rainfall for the first fortnight of June is forecast to be below average over most parts of the island.
