snurrevin

Snurrevin is a Swedish term that translates to "swirl wind" or "whirlwind." It is most commonly used to describe a small, localized column of rotating air that forms when warm air rises rapidly and meets cooler air. These phenomena are typically short-lived and do not possess the destructive power of larger tornadoes.

Snurrevin are often observed on warm, sunny days, particularly in open fields or over bodies of water. They can manifest as visible columns of dust, debris, or water being lifted into the air. While generally harmless, a snurrevin can cause minor disturbances, such as scattering leaves or dust. The term is also used metaphorically in Swedish to describe a chaotic or dizzying situation.
