However, the formation was likely a funnel cloud, according to the Meteorological Service Singapore (MSS).
MSS said the formation observed around Woodlands that afternoon was associated with cumulonimbus clouds that brought intense thundery showers over northern and western Singapore.
A funnel cloud that reaches the ground is known as a landspout.
