Hnmmmmm kinda scary huh ayon s news RARE DAW ITO MAG OCCUR hay naku ang panahon tlga dala ng climate change photo was taken sa TEL AVIV Mia P. Macaraeg Ehdz Brattinela After hail was spotted in southern Israel Monday morning, Tel Avivians woke up to a sight they are probably not accustomed to – a waterspout extending from the stormy sky all the way down to the waters of the Mediterranean sea was visible to the naked eye. It looked like a mini-hurricane over the ocean, said Moshe Asaraf, a resident of Yaffa and drummer of Israeli music group Hadag Nachash. It occurs due to the temperatures of the Mediterranean sea, which stand at 25 degrees Celsius during this season. In contrast, cold wind gusts originating from Europe can occasionally penetrate the upper layers of the atmosphere. The difference in temperature between them and the Mediterranean causes strong vertical cloud currents, explained Meteo-Techs Meteorologist Tzachi Vekesman. According to Vekesman, a strong suction effect can occasionally occur that is strong enough to create a waterspout that has strong turbulence throughout: Although the phenomenon has a similar appearance to a tornado, the waterspout only occurs over the sea, and when it reaches land, the water vacuumed in from the ocean towards the cloud, are thrust toward the land and the pillar dissipates.
