Singapore's Public Utilities Board (PUB) cautioned members of the public to steer clear of flood-prone zones in the western districts on Tuesday morning due to the risk of sudden flooding. The advisory came as weather conditions raised the possibility of flash floods developing in the affected areas. Residents and road users were urged to exercise caution and remain vigilant during the alert period. The PUB typically issues such warnings when water levels are expected to rise rapidly in low-lying areas, particularly near storm drains, canals, and underpasses. Members of the public were advised to check official channels for updates on the status of the flood alert and to avoid unnecessary travel through the warned zones during the specified timeframe.
