A rare water spout was observed over Samastipur in Bihar and recorded by a water‑spout camera, marking an unusual meteorological event for the region.
A rare water spout formed over the city of Samastipur in Bihar and was captured on video by a dedicated water‑spout camera. The footage shows a narrow, rotating column of water extending from the surface upward, a phenomenon more commonly associated with coastal or tropical regions.
Meteorologists note that such vortexes are infrequent in the Indian plains, where the atmospheric conditions seldom support the development of sustained water spouts. The occurrence in Samastipur therefore draws attention from weather experts monitoring unusual patterns.
The recorded clip has been shared with the India Meteorological Department for further analysis, as officials seek to understand the local factors that may have contributed to this event. No damage or injuries were reported in connection with the brief display.
Local residents expressed surprise at the sight, describing it as a striking and unexpected natural display. The video continues to circulate on social media, prompting discussions about climate variability and rare weather phenomena in the region.
