This past Friday, Mallorca experienced quite a chilly winter day. Some mountainous areas (Serra de Tramuntana) even recorded temperatures below 10°C, so it must have been quite cold. It was rough weather with strong cold winds, hail, and occasional rain. However, amidst this weather, an astonishing sight unfolded in the coastal regions of Sóller and Deià.
A Giant Vortex Lingering Over the Sea, the Sea Sleeve (Manga Marina)
This phenomenon is called a 'sea sleeve' (manga marina). It refers to a rotating column of air that forms over the sea. While generally less powerful than a 'cap de fibló', the sight that unfolded before people's eyes must have been truly magnificent and mysterious! 🌊
These sea sleeves often appear in conditions of atmospheric instability. In fact, on this day, strong winds blowing from the north and northwest lowered the temperature, causing a significant drop in 'wind chill'. Irregular showers further amplified this phenomenon.
Why Does This Phenomenon Occur?
According to experts, this convective phenomenon is particularly prominent due to a combination of cold weather, strong winds, and atmospheric instability. Can you imagine a cloud twisted in a giant spiral, hovering over the sea? 🌀
Isn't it awe-inspiring just to imagine? How emotional it must have been to witness these wondrous moments of nature firsthand.
What About Other Sceneries on Different Days?
In addition to this, other interesting phenomena occurred in different regions on the same day. For example, around 10:30 PM on the 15th, near Felanitx, a rainfall of 22.5 mm was recorded with a maximum precipitation intensity of 130 mm/h. Surprisingly, this resulted in a rainfall of 20.4 mm in a narrow area of Felanitx. ☔
Some days were clear and suddenly rained, while other days were characterized by strong winds and unpredictable weather in Mallorca. Even amidst such unpredictable weather, nature displays these beautiful and mysterious sights.
