Waterspout off Kent coast

Privacy Policy

On a seemingly calm day for most of us, a waterspout has just been spotted off Herne Bay, Kent.

Approximately 9.15 am on Thursday morning, 20th July, a waterspout was captured by several Twitter users amidst an area of heavy showers running along the north coast of Kent.

Waterspouts spotted off the Kent coast from Whitstable and Herne Bay (as pinned).

Two waterspouts were reported around Herne Bay and Whitstable. You can see the showers developing here on the WeatherRadar.

Coincidentally, a waterspout was also historically recorded on this day in 1902, and also in 2012 by another Twitter user. It appears 20th July is a lucky day for waterspouts!

The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
