Heavy rain triggered flash floods in many areas in the west this morning (Sept 4), closing a section of the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE). All four lanes of AYE towards ECP were closed to traffic during the flood. The floods had subsided by 9.48am, according to the PUB.

TODAY readers and MediaCorp hotline callers sent in pictures of a tree that fell on two cars on Dunearn Road, blocking traffic to all vehicles except for motorcycles.

Some of the worst floods were reported in the Commonwealth area, with reader Mohamad Hadir sending us a photograph of the interior of a car flooded up to near the steering wheel.

The heaviest rainfall was recorded at Kent Ridge with a rainfall of 102.8mm from 8.10am to 9.40am. It peaked between 8.15am to 8.50am, with a rainfall of 82.2mm.

The PUB added that it advises the public to exercise caution as flash floods may occur in the event of heavy storms.
