Supercell tornados are characterised by a rotating updraft.
A rare 'supercell' tornado has been spotted in the eastern Spanish municipality of El Toro, in the province of Castellón.
The Spanish Meteorological Agency referred to the weather event as a tornado, while local weather page @MeteoStorms said they believe it to have been a supercell.
The tornado emerged during the extreme weather which followed a recent heatwave in Valencia.
The region experienced a drop in temperatures by up to eight degrees, accompanied by extreme weather including torrential rain, hail, and strong winds.
El Toro's mayor José Arenes said 'no major damage' was caused to the town centre.
