A waterspout was captured on video moving ashore near a hotel in the Amathus area of Limassol today, according to footage posted by the weather site Kitasweather.
Multiple Sightings Along the South Coast
Reports indicate that several waterspouts have formed in the maritime region between Paphos and Limassol during the current bout of extreme weather. While these vortices typically remain over the sea, the Amathus incident confirms that they can pose a threat to coastal infrastructure when they make landfall as tornadoes.
Hazardous Driving Conditions Persist
The severe weather has caused significant water accumulation on the Paphos-Limassol motorway. Local police have reiterated warnings for motorists to exercise extreme caution, as central road networks within Paphos city are also experiencing heavy flooding.
