Today, many Greek regions were subjected to unprecedented rainfall, which local residents described as torrential rains, floods, and landslides in several areas.
The reason for the formation of a water tower
A water tower is a natural phenomenon that often occurs when cold air passes over warm water. The warm, humid air rises and water vapor condenses as the air column rises. With the presence of horizontal shear winds, a rotational movement of air occurs, and a rotating funnel appears in the form of a vertical cloud mass above the surface of the water.
The formation of a water tower requires high levels of humidity and a relatively warm water temperature compared to the air above it. More details here .
