Funnel Cloud Forms Over Jundiaí Highway, No Injuries Reported
Jundiaí, Brazil, witnessed an unusual meteorological event on June 6th, 2025, when a funnel cloud formed during a period of strong winds and thunderstorms. The Civil Defense confirmed the event, stating that while visually dramatic, the low-altitude "scud" cloud typically indicates severe weather conditions, such as strong winds and potential thunderstorms, but not necessarily a tornado. "These clouds form in areas of heavy rain when warm, humid air is pushed upwards by cooler air," explained a spokesperson for Jundiaí's Civil Defense. Videos circulating online show the funnel cloud looming over a highway, with cars and trucks continuing their journeys amidst the unfolding weather event. Thankfully, no injuries or damage were reported, although the event served as a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of severe weather. The event highlights the importance of remaining vigilant during periods of inclement weather and heeding the warnings issued by meteorological authorities.
