Waterspouts are tornado-like columns or funnels of violently rotating air that typically form over the sea's surface. They follow a five-part life cycle: a dark spot formation on the water surface, a spiral pattern on the water surface, the development of a spray ring, the appearance of a visible condensation funnel, and eventual decay.

While waterspouts are common in tropical and subtropical regions, they can occasionally occur in places like Europe, the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand, and Antarctica.

Witnessing a waterspout can be captivating, but it is essential to maintain a safe distance for one's safety.
