According to Associate Professor Lim Tit Meng, Chief Executive of the Science Centre Singapore, the odds of seeing the supermoon in Singapore on Nov. 14, 2016, is a big, fat zero.
Lim told Channel News Asia:
"Unfortunately, we're in the rainy season, and looking at the thick clouds above us, the chances of seeing the supermoon are almost close to zero - this is my personal view, looking at the situation now."
The biggest and brightest the moon would appear tonight was at 10pm -- and that time has past.
Across Singapore, people were armed with cameras and waited with bated breath -- but the monsoon clouds decided to play punk and rained on everybody's parade.
The biggest supermoon in 70 years has been reduced to a blotch in the sky, where it cannot be seen 90 percent of the time, and when it can, it is barely recognisable -- although slightly brighter than usual -- due to the dense cloud cover.
The next time a supermoon of this size appears again will be on Nov. 25, 2034.
Nonetheless, here are some photos from across Singapore of what people here saw -- which turned out to be the biggest non-event in 70 years:
