Around 5 p.m. on June 12, a stunning "dragon absorbing water" landscape appeared over the shallow sea near the downtown area of Zhuhai, Guangdong, China, which was very close to the city. According to the footage taken by netizens, a stunning cloud column extended from the gloomy clouds to connect to the surface of the sea, as if the sea water was being sucked into the clouds by a huge cloud column.
The essence of this phenomenon is actually a tornado, which is a waterspout that occurs on the surface of the water, which is probably the clearest tornado that has been filmed by the public in recent years, and a large number of Zhuhai citizens have seen this amazing scene. According to the pictures taken by some netizens, the picture after getting closer can even see the multiple small vortexes in the main body of the tornado affecting each other and rotating, and the picture can be said to be very scary. Fortunately, this tornado does not seem to have entered zhuhai city in a strong posture, and there has been no tornado damage or disaster for the time being.
Waterspouts and landspouts do not have exactly the same origin, with most waterspouts being spinning updrafts of ordinary thunderstorms, while landspouts require super-monomers and stronger unstable energies. Because of this, waterspouts are rarely stronger than EF0 and are often weakened by abrupt environmental changes upon disembarkation. From the radar monitoring on the afternoon of June 12, on the afternoon of June 12, there was a very strong crimson radar echo on the coast of Zhuhai, China, which is the performance of the local strong updraft activity, and it is expected that a rotating updraft formed in the thunderstorm cloud.
While this type of waterspout is generally not very strong and may weaken quickly upon disembarkation, they are still one of the manifestations of intense weather and still have the potential to create super 12 winds and wreak havoc. Also because this weather phenomenon is localized, unstable, the time of occurrence is also very short, the prediction is also very difficult, the appearance is often without warning, so if the coastal friends see this amazing landscape again, they need to immediately stay away from it and move to a safe area to avoid direct contact with it.
