An over water tornado has been reported off the coast of Bray, Co Wicklow, this morning.
The weather phenomena, also known as a seaspout, occurs over a body of water and is connected to a cumuliform cloud formation.
They do not suck up water and the funnel cloud is made up of water droplets formed by condensation.
Seaspouts are often associated with active weather fronts and can appear during thunder, lightning or strong winds.
