The thunderstorm was allegedly heard all across Singapore and such rainy days are likely to continue for the rest of the month if the weather forecast turns out to be true.

If Thor’s favourite football club was ever a mystery, it’s not anymore.

If you’re one of those who forced your half-closed sleepy eyes open just to watch the lightning, know that you’re not alone.

If Thanos had enlisted cats for his Black Order army, he’ll probably lose to Thor in a flash.

While others are deep in the realm of sleep

There are two types of people, those who get awakened by thunderstorms in the middle of the night, and those who contentedly sleep through it.

Some of us can relate.

Don’t fantasise, it’s just rain

Despite all the wild theories, the thunderstorm most likely had nothing with Thor’s arrival on Earth.

Because chances are, it’s just Mother Nature at work, as predicted by our meteorological service.
