At 8.20am, PUB said water levels in Commonwealth Lane and Commonwealth Drive are near full capacity following heavy morning showers.

 

Another Climate Change casualty?

 

Heavy monsoon rains have caused disastrous floods and left millions displaced in South Asia. Like Harvey, climate change likely played a role.

The same was reported in Malaysia as well.

 

Umbrellas and even waders will not keep you dry this week.

 

And with the terrible weather and record winds in the States, one has to wonder what nature will throw at us next!!!
