Heavy rain is expected over the northern and eastern parts of Singapore on Friday (Sept 18) evening.

Checks on Meteorological Service Singapore's (MSS) weather radar at 8pm show rain clouds over the eastern and north-eastern parts of Singapore.

In its fortnightly weather forecast on Sept 16 , the weatherman had said that localised short-duration thundery showers are expected between the late morning and afternoon over most parts of the island on most days.

The agency added that widespread moderate to thundery showers, caused by regional wind convergence, are expected on one or two days during the forecast period.
