The month of April has been pretty warm, as forecasted by the Meteorological Services Singapore (MSS).

Although daily temperatures have a high of 35ºC, there have been plenty of thundery showers as well.

According to MSS, April is also the month with the highest lightning activity.

The stunning bolts of lightning might have caught more people's attention during this period as most of us are cooped up at home because of Circuit Breaker.

Some have taken rather spectacular photographs and posted about the natural phenomenon on social media.

Like these epic ones by Paul Lee, which make Singapore's cityscape look slightly apocalyptic.

And such dramatic sight is not exclusive to the month of April as well, here's one shot by FreeMan Loke in May last year:

It's been raining pretty heavily today too, so you might be able to catch some lightning streaking through the sky tonight.
