Look at this 😳 The storm currently raging over the Mediterranean is making history right now. ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ Off the coast of Antibes – Monaco it has turned into a true lightning bomb. Countless flashes, sometimes more than one per second. But the real madness started a few hours ago and is still ongoing: 🌀 An extremely rare, powerful and tightly packed mesocyclone is currently active over the Mediterranean. Inbound (green) and outbound (red) velocities are almost stacked on top of each other. maximwx measured a VROT of around 59 knots (≈ 109 km/h). This is an exceptionally high value for Europe, and especially for the Mediterranean. Typical fair-weather waterspouts rarely exceed 30-40 knots. A 59-knot rotational velocity clearly confirms this is a true tornadic waterspout produced by a supercell. The same cell later produced a second rotation with VROT exceeding 50 knots, and a rare “donut hole” appeared on reflectivity — something almost never seen on European radars. This is one of the cleanest, strongest and most textbook tornadic waterspout-producing supercells we’ve seen over the Mediterranean in the summer of 2026. If it had moved inland the damage potential would have been significant, but its track is remaining entirely over water. The radar data alone is already in the “insane” category. #Supercell #Tornado #Waterspout #Lightning #SevereWeather #Mediterranean #StormChaser #Weather
