SINGAPORE: High tides and heavy rain are expected over the weekend.

The National Environment Agency (NEA) said high tides of at least 3.3 metres are expected from February 19 to 21.

NEA also said afternoons showers with thunder can be expected during this period.

Flash floods may occur in low-lying areas especially if the high tides coincide with heavy rain.

The low-lying areas include Lorong Buangkok, Jalan Seaview, Meyer Road, Lorong 101 - Lorong 106 Changi and Everitt Road North.

NEA will issue warnings through the media when heavy rain is expected.

The public can also call PUB's 24-hour Call Centre at 1800-284 6600 to report obstructions in drains or to check the flood situation.
