SINGAPORE - A water spout extending to the clouds was seen off Singapore's shores on Sunday (June 18) morning.
Mr Kiran Grewal told The Straits Times that he spotted it at about 9am, just before a morning storm began.
His photos, taken from Boon Keng, show an ominous bank of clouds, with the water spout extending from it to the sea.
"Looks like the funnel is just off the shores of Batam," he added.
The weather phenomenon could be observed from as far away as Sengkang, according to another ST reader who took photos of it from Anchorvale Road.
According to the National Environment Agency (NEA), water spouts are short-lived weather phenomenon occasionally seen over the coastal waters of Singapore.
