Rain rain go away! Come again another day lah!

Tuesday's heavy rainfall third highest in 75 years - CNA

75 years, 24hrs, 366mm.

Those were the numbers surrounding what has been the wettest day in Singapore in 75 years. Rain fell for almost 24hrs, chalking up a record 366mm.

Lots of places were flooded - most were up to knee level but some were up to waist level. There were plenty of reports of trees falling over, some mud slides and the inevitable traffic accidents.

Personally, it crapped out my day in several ways. Some errants had to be post-poned; a trip to Orchard cancelled; shoes were wet/damp and my nose decided to go running.

This morning, the weather seemed a little better. It seemed almost like that it felt bad for all the cats and dogs yesterday, so it decided to show a little sun this morning.

But now, it seems to have changed it mind again, threatening us with a big show of dark clouds and strong winds.

Oh well, I suppose in lieu of snow, rain is the next best thing I guess. At least it beats being broiled alive in the aussie summer heat. heehee... are you people downunder chao-tar yet? :P

Not that I'm being insensitive to the bush fire situation there. But how Chirstmassy can you feel in a 40 degree plus heatwave?

If only there was some way to divert some of this rain there. That should make quite a lot of people pretty happy.
