The morning heavy rain has caused chaos for some drivers in the morning and some were even stranded in the floods.
When there is a bad side there will also be a good side. The temperatures were recorded to be very low and cooling as if there was free air-condition.
NEA reported that at Woodlands, Changi and Pulau Ubin had temperatures recorded as low as 21.9°C.
Here is what NEA posted on Facebook:
Widespread moderate to heavy rain fell over the island since 5am this morning (20 Aug 2021). The rain was heaviest over the central, northern and eastern parts of Singapore. The thundery showers were due to prevailing winds blowing from the south and west-northwest, converging over Singapore.
