Jul 24, 2010 Heavy rain alert revised
By Amresh Gunasingham
IT WILL be a wet weekend, but perhaps not as bad as originally feared.
After issuing a warning on Wednesday to expect heavy rain over the weekend, the National Environment Agency's (NEA) Meteorological Services Division scaled back that forecast on Friday.
The force of a typhoon that had been expected to have a major impact on Singapore's weather had dissipated after it hit landfall in China, it explained.
The weakened system would thus not have a major impact on Singapore, the Met added.
It does not mean you can put away your brollies, however.
The Met said that there could still be spells of heavy showers with thunder, particularly in the early morning or afternoon.
