A waterspout was spotted from Tanjong Pagar in the early morning of May 11, 2019.
A waterspout occurs when a type of cloud, cumuliform, forms during thunderstorms, creating low-pressure pockets.
Which tallies with the kind of weather we've been having.
Here's a picture uploaded to Facebook at around 10:30am:
