The waterspout, which formed around 7 a.m., was observed moving from the Adriatic Sea towards the strait between Kefalonia and Zakynthos.
Captured on video by island resident Stefanos Salmas, the waterspout appeared off Agios Charalambos, near the town of Zakynthos. While not as powerful as a tornado, waterspouts can reach wind speeds exceeding 100 km/h and typically lose their strength upon reaching land.
Such phenomena are triggered by significant temperature differences between the sea surface and upper atmospheric layers, often occurring on days with high temperatures and humidity. The waterspout emerged as Greece experienced severe weather, with over 31,000 lightning strikes recorded across the western parts of the country within 24 hours.
