I suspect that was a mistranslation or a typo in the input data and the actual report was meant to have "VCFG" not "VCFC". In other words the conditions were more likely to indicate fog in the vicinity rather than a funnel cloud.
Here is the actual METAR in question
EGPD 170750Z VRB05KT 9999 3000W VCFC FEW005 SCT015 BKN026 09/08 Q1007 NOSIG
Visibility to the west is at 3000m which would also support this. However the biggest sign for me is that the report 30 minutes earlier was this
EGPD 170720Z 31004KT 9999 2500W VCFG SCT011 BKN022 08/08 Q1007 TEMPO 3000
