Basically, funnel clouds are divided into two categories.

1. A landspout is a funnel cloud which occurs above dry ground.

2. A waterspout is a funnel cloud which occurs over a body of water such as a sea, river, or ocean.

Funnel clouds are powerfully rotating columns of air which descends from a cloud typically during thunderstorms. Funnel clouds which reach the ground often transform into tornadoes.

This funnel cloud was sighted at No. 63 beach on 22nd of May, 2022.
