WATCH: Did You Catch This Impressive Flash Waterspout Over St. Julian’s?

Article Featured Image

Several videos and photos showing an impressive waterspout that formed over the sea in St. Julian’s have been sent in to Lovin Malta.

The waterspout, which was seen earlier this afternoon, was only around for a few seconds, and a person who witnessesed it said “it was gone as quickly as it appeared”.

The meteorological formation is often mistakenly called a tornado, but is actually formed by severe thunderstorms, or even more commonly with developing storm systems.

A sharp drop in temperature is also a common cause of these waterspouts.

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.
