Social media has just been lit up with various photos and videos of a towering waterspout over the south of Malta.

While some shots were taken from Marsascala, another video uploaded on popular Facebook forum The Salott at around noon showed what the waterspout looked like from the Xag?jra promenade. At a point, as fast as it appeared, the waterspout dispersed back into the clouds.

The waterspout dispersed as quickly as it formed

Waterspouts can be formed by severe thunderstorms, but are even more commonly associated with developing storm systems. The clouds from which they descend are rarely fast-moving, and that makes waterspouts very easy to spot and film since they are often static.

More grey weather is on this weekend’s forecast, with today’s high temperatures slowly giving way to gusts of win, rain and even potential thunderstorms.
