Impact & Risks

The heavy rainfall and strong winds could lead to localised flooding, waterlogging, and disruptions in daily life, particularly in the districts under the Yellow Alert. Thunderstorms and strong winds may pose risks to outdoor activities, weak structures, and trees. Residents in low-lying areas and regions prone to landslides should remain vigilant as the weather conditions could exacerbate such risks.
