Yesterday evening there was an unusual seen in the Bangalore Sky. A 'real' Tornado (though it was a cloud formation). The cloud formed exactly like a Twister. The below shots are taken from MS Ramaiah Hospital near BEL Road.

Twister in BangaloreThis 'Tornado' was clearly visible from MG road too.
A tornado is a violent, rotating column of air which is in contact with both the surface of the earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud.
Although tornadoes have been observed on every continent except Antarctica, most occur in the United States. They also commonly occur in southern Canada, south-central and eastern Asia, east-central South America, Southern Africa, northwestern and southeast Europe, western and southeastern Australia, and New Zealand.

definitely not a tornado...
Good catch.
ReplyDeleteBut I dont think it is a tornado, it is just a cloud formation. It does not seem to have touched down at any place(any reports?) and it doesnt originate from a Wall Cloud.
You could probably classify it as a 'shear funnel' though.

ReplyDeleteif it was.. then there should the formation of black cloud with wall cloud//
