In clips posted on social media late on Sunday night, the waterspout can be seen hovering off the coast of Greece.While waterspouts appear similar to tornadoes, they are generally much smaller and less intense, and tend to only last a short period of time – most finish in five minutes or under. They can form when two opposing winds collide, creating a high amount of rotating air, and are more likely to be created when air temperatures are relatively cool while the water remains warm.
They are most common in tropical waters, but it is not particularly unusual for them to be seen in Greece and elsewhere in the Mediterranean Sea.
