SINGAPORE: About 100 fallen trees were found in the wooded areas of Changi Beach Park due to stormy weather over the weekend.
National Parks Board (NParks) said this on Monday after intense rain and strong wind uprooted many trees.
It added it is conducting additional inspection of trees.
NParks said 13 trees near the tracks at Changi Beach Park were uprooted but after inspecting deeper in the wooded areas, it found about 100 more fallen trees.
NParks said heavy rain over the weekend softened the soil in the area.
About 10 trees were affected by strong wind in other parts of Singapore.
No reports of injuries were received, and all the trees causing obstruction have been cleared.
NParks is conducting additional inspection of its trees.
It has advised the public not to visit parks and nature reserves during and just after a storm.
