WOW: Rare weather event captured in Kilkenny
A picture of a funnel cloud was captured in County Kilkenny earlier today by Claire Cotterell.
A funnel cloud is a cone-shaped cloud which extends from the base of a cloud towards the ground without actually reaching the surface.
It is often known to precede the formation of a tornado.
The image was shared by well-known meteorologist Alan O'Reilly from Carlow Weather.
