As we all know, Singapore is well known for its irratic tropical climate.
The weather here can be stiffling hot now, and a cooling rainfall next.
However we can't keep checking the National Environmental Agency (NEA)
For constant weather updates, right?
So, how can we predict the weather using our naked eyes?
True that i'm no weather forecaster, but what i gonna describe is through my own experience.

Lets have a look at this picture.

What i do know about this cloud is that it's called
The Cumulonimbus Cloud.

This cloud brings rainfall and storm for sure.
Once we see such clouds we can be for sure a thunderstorm is approaching
So, how do we determine that it's a Cumulonimbus?

One obvious look is that the cloud looked extremely dense.
Notice how thick the cloud is?
Another would be the height of the clouds from top to bottom.
Notice how tall the cloud is?

And sometimes you will even get to see its top forming an anvil shape like this:

For all riders, when your riding direction is toward these clouds,
Be prepared to take out your raincoat, cause it's gonna be wet!
Last but not least, ride safe!
