Good morning everyone, Yesterday afternoon we got sent an absolutely brilliant video from Robin Lawson-Wills at Perranporth Beach, and what an amazing little atmospheric moment this turned out to be. Captured in the shallow water near the shoreline was a small spinning whirlwind vortex dancing its way around the water. At first glance, it almost looks like a mini waterspout trying to make an appearance, with spray, sand and wind all twisting together in classic dramatic Cornwall style. And despite being fairly small, these spinning pockets of air can still pack quite a punch. In one of the videos, you can actually see the force of the twisting wind and spray knocking Robin slightly off balance while crouched down filming it as the vortex spun past him. A good reminder that even tiny atmospheric features can have surprising power behind them. SO WHAT CAUSED IT? This type of small whirlwind can develop when: Blustery winds interact with cliffs, rocks and dunes, Sea breeze meets colder or warmer moving air, Uneven heating and airflow create rotation near the surface, Gusty conditions start twisting spray and sand together Because this one formed right in the shallow water along the beach edge, it gave it that almost “mini waterspout” appearance as it pulled up spray while spinning along. Cornwall’s beaches are actually brilliant places for these odd little weather features because the coastline, cliffs and changing wind directions can create all sorts of tiny localised vortices and wind tunnels. Most of these are harmless and short-lived, but they can still: Throw sand and spray around, Steal hats, relocate beach towels without permission, and apparently try to wrestle weather photographers into the sea Classic Cornwall behaviour really. MICROCLIMATES IN CORNWALL ARE FASCINATING One of the reasons Cornwall is so interesting weather-wise is that conditions can change massively over tiny distances. Beaches like Perranporth often create their own little microclimates where winds accelerate near cliffs and headlands, especially during blustery northerly or northwesterly setups as we’ve had recently. So while one part of the beach may feel fairly calm, another section suddenly turns into “Atmospheric Washing Machine Mode.” Huge thanks again to Robin Lawson-Wills for sending this fantastic capture to us we absolutely love seeing unusual weather moments from around Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. And remember everyone, if you spot anything unusual weather-wise: Whirlwind, Rainbows, Lightning, Strange clouds, Big surf, Weird atmospheric effects Please don’t forget to share them with us here at KWT. Kind regards, KWT Dave

Europe faces a double whammy of flooding and wildfires While some parts of Europe are experiencing devastating flooding, other areas are battling raging wildfires. The situation is particularly dire in the Aveiro area of Portugal, where a massive wildfire has been burning for days. The smoke from the fire is visible for hundreds of kilometers away, and over 1,000 firefighters are currently working to contain the blaze. The situation is further complicated by the fact that the area is experiencing a severe drought, which is making the fire spread quickly. Officials are urging residents to evacuate the area and are warning that the fire could pose a serious threat to life and property. might find interesting: * The fire has burned over 10,000 hectares of land. * The fire is being fought by firefighters from Portugal, Spain, and France. * The Portuguese government has declared a state of emergency in the affected area.
