According to the Met Office, it is an extending finger of spinning cloud that reaches towards the ground.
The clouds develop the same way as tornadoes with wind drawing in cloud droplets to make an area of intense low pressure.
They often coincide with heavy rain, hail, thunder and lightning.
The UK sees around 30 to 35 tornadoes each year, though it is very rare that are they strong enough to cause damage.
When funnel clouds reach the ground they become tornadoes.
