According to the Cyprus Meteorological Department, the weather had reached almost all of Cyprus, and waterspouts were already recorded at sea off Larnaca, raising concerns over possible tornadoes.
Unusual weather for the end of August: While in Cyprus, a plume of water was recorded over the sea and an orange warning was issued, in Israel wind gusts of 70 km/h were measured. The director of the Meteorological Service reassured and said that "rainfall across a wide national area will not reach Israel," but there is concern about flooding in the north.
