Double waterspout off Capri captured on video

A double waterspout swept across the waters off Capri on Saturday, forming over the island's iconic Faraglioni rock formations as heavy clouds gathered above the Campania coast. According to Euronews, the phenomenon was rare enough to draw international attention, with video footage showing the twin columns of rotating air above the Mediterranean.

Waterspouts themselves are not unprecedented in the Mediterranean. The formation occurs when warm air rises rapidly from the sea surface, creating conditions that can spawn rotating columns visible from shore. Euronews noted the heavy cloud cover that preceded the event.
