A heavy downpour yesterday caused several trees in Yishun Park to be completely uprooted. At least four such trees have blocked pathways in the park.
Joggers and passers-by had to make a detour because of the blocked pathways.
According to a Yishun resident, the wind was very strong and everything was blown horizontally.
Contractors are in the midst of clearing the fallen trees.

Based on the video below, hailstones that were the size of five-cent and 10-cent coins were raining down onto the balcony floor of a resident’s home in Yishun.
The last time hailstones were reportedly seen in Singapore was in 2013.
