Knee-deep water left these cars stranded at the open-air carpark opposite Delta House yesterday.

A canal nearby had overflowed following the heavy downpour islandwide, which started at about 2.30pm.

This caused the carpark, located at the junction of Alexandra Road and Delta Road, to be flooded.

The authorities said the few hours of rain accounted for nearly half of the rainfall for the entire month.

To make matters worse, the storm coincided with a high tide, causing flash floods in many low-lying parts of Singapore.

In Orchard Road, customers looking for their afternoon caffeine fix were also affected when rainwater streamed into a basement Starbucks outlet.
