Tornadoes are not as uncommon in South Africa as some people might believe, with more sightings of the weather phenomena andTwo funnel clouds were spotted in Ekurhuleni in Gauteng and Emalahleni in Mpumalanga on Sunday. Vox Weather meteorologist Annette Botha said these were characterised as a funnel clouds because no damage or proof of touchdown was reported.“A funnel cloud does not reach the earth’s surface. At the point it reaches land, it becomes a tornado, or if it reaches a body of water, it becomes a waterspout.”
Botha – who warned funnel clouds were dangerous and commonly a severe thunderstorm – said the number of tornadoes was likely to increase as thunderstorms grow more severe “A funnel cloud can become a full-fledged tornado in seconds. But even if it remains a funnel and never makes a touchdown, these severe storms are usually associated with hail, gusting winds and heavy downpours.
