A waterspout was caught on camera off the coast of Cornwall, England yesterday afternoon.

The recent heatwave was broken by torrential downpours, thunderstorms and even waterspouts as seen in the video above.

The waterspout, which formed over the mouth of the Fowey Estuary, near the village of Polruan on the south coast of Cornwall, was spotted by several passengers travelling on a ferry from Fowey to Mevagissey.

You can learn more about how waterspouts form from the video below:
