Remember, as described in the online encyclopedia Wikipedia, qu’“A waterspout is a rotating column of air mixed with water, forming a cloudy funnel, under a convective cloud above a body of water. These micro-scale phenomena form when conditions are very severe. unstable as cold air passes over warm waters. Usually less intense than a tornado, they dissipate once on land. “

In Hyères, this kind of phenomenon can be observed regularly, like on October 29th.
