Waterspout a very spectacular meteorological phenomenon in the Canary Islands

I bring here a very spectacular weather phenomenon that was visible in the Canary Islands last week where there was a strong storm of water, snow and wind. Apparently, in La Palma was where these images of a “Waterspout" were recorded. These images were broadly disseminated to you by Wasap and were also shown on television networks.

The waterspout is a whirlpool of water droplets that occurs when the wind lifts the particles from the surface of the water. It is a small rotating storm. It is connected to a cumuliform cloud that is directly above it. They move on the aquatic surface slowly. Although they are not very powerful to wreck some boats that have the misfortune to cross their path.
The explanation for this phenomenon is because the air water immediately above the water is more humid and can condense. When there are gusts of wind, by a sharp drop in atmospheric pressure, these drops can be lifted and displaced and lifted and can then be seen in the form of a "funnel cloud".

It is a phenomenon that can occur more frequently in tropical waters. When two winds of opposite direction are found, the air is pushed upwards causing the rise of water droplets and with a small turn, which causes funnel-shaped clouds to form. Like the whirlwinds of sand or earth, they happen where the wind picks up particles from the ground. In this case, the gusts of wind induce a rotation of the upper layers of the water, lift them and set them in motion.
