Rare ‘roll cloud' delights Portuguese beachgoers amid record heat wave
As much of Europe battled a rare heat wave, beachgoers trying to cool off on the coast of Portugal were stunned by another surprising weather phenomenon.
Videos taken across parts of the northern and central coast showed a dark, tsunami-like cloud formation, commonly referred to as a roll cloud, billowing over the ocean, stretched out across the horizon, on Sunday. Beachgoers could be seen scrambling to film the sight, or standing along the shoreline admiring the towering clouds.
