Let's put it out there, there is nothing really exciting about weather news. It is even harder for one to make people interested in weather news.
But a national newspaper in Singapore has decided to add some humour to its daily bland weather tweets and people are loving it, and some seem a little confused.
Weather update: Thundery showers mainly over northern, eastern and central Singapore in the afternoon. Stay dry! Unless you're a fish.

"Warm" is also the sound a lightsaber makes.
The tweets also received an enthused response from readers who did not want the "intern's" term to end.
