Have you ever spotted a funnel of water out at sea? This is a waterspout - a rotating column of air that descends from the base of a thunderstorm cloud. They are usually short-lived, lasting between 10 to 30 minutes before quickly dissipating when it nears the coast.
There are an average of 3 occurrences of waterspouts in waters off Singapore per year. If you see one, exit the waters quickly as they can move at speeds up to 80km/h!
