Waterspout, Great Yarmouth, England, 27 August
Around 160 waterspouts are reported each year across Europe, with the UK reporting 15 on average. They are most common in late summer. In the northern hemisphere, September is the prime month of formation. On discovering this, blipper Haddock noted in his journal: ‘Probably a third of the UK’s yearly waterspouts dropped out of the bottom of a huge cloud offshore of Great Yarmouth this morning. A couple of them looked far more dramatic - but had died away by the time I got the camera.’
