Last night (30 Oct) was, to put it bluntly, terrible.
It was pouring cats and dogs and I was stuck at a bus stop without an umbrella. To make things even worse, the cute girl who happened to be taking shelter near me has a boyfriend. Bummer.
But unbeknownst to me, significantly less important events were occurring somewhere in Singapore.

Flash floods.

According to national water agency PUB, flash floods were reported at the junction of Stamford Road and Victoria Street and at Mount Elizabeth.
However, the floods subsided within 20 minutes.
โWe are also investigating the flood incident at the junction of Stamford Road and Victoria Street and will look into possible drainage improvement in this area,โ PUB added.
Ongoing drainage improvement works at Mount Elizabeth are expected to finish by the end of next year.
And by the way, the rain lasted until this morning. Uber / Grab drivers should have got a little richer yesterday and today #justsaying
High risk flooding alerts
At around 7pm yesterday, PUB had issued high risk flooding alerts in areas including Exeter Road and Somerset Road, Tanjong Pagar Road and Craig Road and Leng Kee Road.
The National Environment Agency, on the other hand, pushed out a heavy rain warning at the same time, forecasting โmoderate to heavy thundery showers with gusty windโ.

Shoot, had I paid attention to the weather forecast for once, I wouldnโt have to be stuck in a bus stop for ages.
Guess itโs time to heed my dadโs words and watch some news.
Suspension
The annual Mediacorp Subaru Car Challenge, held at Orchard Roadโs Ngee Ann City, had entered its third day yesterday (30 Oct). At around 7.30pm, however, lightning and weather risks forced the competition to be suspended for near two hours.
Itโs believed to be the longest disruption so far in the competitionโs 16-year history.

Someone get an umbrella for those poor cars!
Moral of the story
With the last few evenings being particularly wet nights, youโll be well-advised to equip yourself with a sturdy umbrella in your backpack.
Also, check up on the latest weather forecast updates at nea.gov.sg. Itโs a pain in the ass, but it beats getting drenched.
Meanwhile, Iโll just be heading out without an umbrella. Again.
Maybe this time she wonโt have a boyfriend.
