This QLCS is becoming my "favorite" event of the year. After @bramvantveen.bsky.social's radar report and getting a video from renowned storm chaser Dean Gill, I think we have found tornadoes n. 5 and 6, which is quite the achievement for Italy!

Hello! I'm back once again! We've had quite a rush of severe weather lately, with multiple wave of large events after a semi-uneventful first half of August. On the 20th in fact, we started a nasty series of events, with that one peaking with the first confirmed tornado in Turin since 1949

The tornado damage path from August 19 between Georgenthal and Ohrdruf in Germany is clearly visible from the air. Over a distance of nearly 5 km and width of more than 500 m in places, extensive damage to trees and buildings can be seen.

Der 19.08.2026 wird sicherlich noch lange in Erinnerung bleiben. An diesem Tag gab es einen der stärksten Tornadoausbrüche der letzten Jahrzehnte. Noch sind nicht alle Verdachtsfälle aufgearbeitet.

OTD in 1890, a furious outbreak of thunderstorms produced at least two rare strong tornadoes between east Tuscany and west Umbria, killing 10 people and injuring over 60 more. A train was also derailed by a possible third tornado. The event went all the way up to the Po Valley

A severe weather and #tornado outbreak occurred on 19.08.2026. The German Tornado Expert Group (TOREX) is working intensively on the analysis of this event. DWD is also part of TOREX, jointly analyzes the large amount of info available. A first overview map showing the results has now been created.

The #tornado outbreak on 19.08.2026 was a day to remember with a classic setup (High shear low CAPE, HSLC). SRH was high and also concentrated on the lowest km. In addition LCL were low.

There are probably more #tornado cases to come. Many reports can already be found in the WarnWetter app. Some are probably fake, but there is a notable clustering from Rhineland-Palatinate into Hesse. And there are at least two interesting images from near Wetzlar.

Yesterday big severe weather day in Italy: very large to almost-giant hail and widespread damaging winds up to 137 km/h. And a very likely small tornado as well, which tossed a parked car onto tables for some kind of event in the Bergamo province. Three injuries as well in total are known

OTD in 2015, Italy's most recent violent tornado. A terrible IF4 that split the difference between the Veneto towns of Dolo and Mira while scouring the ground, mangling cars, debarking trees and (partially) destroying buildings. 72 people were injured, one was killed after getting lofted in his car

OTD in 1965, one of Italy's worst severe weather days ever. Four strong to violent tornadoes caused massive damage from SE Piedmont to eastern Emilia-Romagna, causing 15 deaths and at least 244 additional injuries while destroying homes and vegetation and throwing cars from roads into fields

Via radar imagery analysis and a damage survey, we've been able to find out that a brief tornado debranched trees in a forest a partially destroyed a faulty house just NE of Mantua. Fortunately the home was empty when it suffered IF2 (BSC - 1A) damage. Debris was also scattered in all directions

A few tornadoes have been piling up here in Italy these last two days. This is the latest in Calabria (filmed from inside by Giacomo Bubbo), but one touched down on the Asiago Plateau this morning and one partially destroyed a weakly-built house yesterday night. Hail also has been quite problematic

Supercell thunderstorm rotation about 10-20 minutes before it produced a tornado west of Glencoe, ON earlier today. Rain and some large hail wrapping around the back near end of video. Shown at 2x speed to achieve the level of impressiveness I experienced in real time (IMHO). #ONstorm
