A large thunderstorm on Tuesday afternoon brought strong winds, heavy rain and even hail to some parts of Singapore.

The weather also caused extensive damage with fallen trees and damage to buildings.

At the All Star Golf Range, structural damage to the facility and uprooted trees have caused the gold course to announce that they will be closed for at least 2 to 3 months to repair the damage.

They explained that the damage is estimated to be about $300,000.
