Rare typhoon-like storm hits Singapore
Strong winds that people called a mini typhoon hit Singapore on Tuesday evening, September 17, toppling trees, snarling traffic and causing damage to a glass canopy outside UOB Plaza.
Almost the whole of Singapore received the storm's heaviest rainfall as it moved across the island.
The Sumatra Squall is a line of thunderstorms that develops over Sumatra, Indonesia, and moves over the Straits of Malacca, leading to heavy rain and strong winds in Singapore and Malaysia.
