July 22nd: Funnel Cloud, Christchurch, Dorset

This day was very showery, with a low pressure close by, bringing up heavy showers from the Channel on to the coast. I knew that earlier in the day there had been a waterspout at Hove in Sussex, so had an eye on the clouds most of the afternoon. Then, as I was coming home, at around 1845 BST, I saw a small funnel less than a mile ahead! As I was a passenger, I quickly grabbed my phone, before we were able to stop and watch it come towards us. It only lasted 3-4 minutes, but came almost overhead just before it died out and we had a heavy downpour. Not a bad end to an active weather week!
