Moderate to heavy rain with gusty winds had been forecast for the afternoon over many areas in Singapore, according to the National Environment Agency (NEA) earlier in the day.



The Meteorological Service had in its fortnightly update last week forecast thundery showers in the afternoon and evening. It also said to expect warmer days as well, due to prevailing inter-monsoon conditions.
