A tornado was recorded east of Nicosia, with video capturing the moment the phenomenon developed now widely circulating online.

The footage shows the vortex forming and moving through the area, as unstable weather conditions continue to affect parts of Cyprus.

At the same time, the Troodos mountain range presented an unusually wintry scene on Tuesday afternoon, as intense hailstorms covered the landscape, giving the impression of snowfall in the middle of spring.

In Troodos Square, the ground was quickly blanketed by dense hail, creating conditions more typical of mid-winter than late April.
