Many different meteorological organizations across Europe document tornado events, often using different tornado intensity scales, including the TORRO (T) scale, the Fujita (F) scale, the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, and the International Fujita (IF) scale.[3] For consistency, this list primarily uses the IF-scale, the preferred scale of the European Severe Storms Laboratory (ESSL) and its database, the European Severe Weather Database (ESWD).[4]

Climatology

Despite their similar areas, Europe sees significantly fewer tornadoes than the United States. Geography plays a major role in this discrepancy, with the unique features in North America making areas like Tornado Alley ideal for severe weather, while many of these conditions are generally less optimal in Europe. However, the under-reporting of weaker tornadoes across the continent also contributes to this.[5][2] This under-reporting primarily stems from a lack of pan-European collaboration in monitoring tornadoes, resulting in less public and institutional awareness of them or their danger or the real threat they pose, despite many occurrences of violent, damaging, and deadly tornadoes across the continent.[6][2]

Tornado activity in Europe typically peaks in the summer months and is lowest during the winter months. More specifically, Central and Northern Europe peak in the summer, the western and central Mediterranean regions peak in autumn, and the eastern Mediterranean region peaks in the winter. Tornadoes over land most often occur in the late afternoon and early evening hours. On the other hand, waterspouts, which sometimes move ashore in coastal areas and become tornadoes, peak in late spring and typically occur earlier in the day.[2]

Season summary

  • Note: Unrated tornadoes are counted as IFU on the graphs

January was very active, with 24 tornadoes reported, including five rated IF2. The first half of the month was relatively inactive, while the final week produced 17 tornadoes overall, including three strong IF2 tornadoes in Turkey, France, and Spain. It also featured the longest-track tornado in Europe so far, which occurred in Mios, France, and had a path length of 23.3 km. In total, four injuries and one fatality were reported. The fatality occurred when three kitesurfers were caught in a probable waterspout off Tayo Beach in Tel Aviv; one 40-year-old man was lofted approximately 150 meters and fatally injured after being thrown into rocks, while another man sustained minor injuries.[1] February was average overall, but starting on 18 February an extremely unusual three-week period with no tornadoes reported occurred due to persistent ridging across southern Europe and record-breaking warm and dry conditions. These conditions continued into March, which ended as a very inactive month with fewer tornadoes reported than in February. An early-season tornado occurred in Romania and was rated IF1.5.

After crossing a national roadway, the tornado moved into a valley, where a broad swath of hillside and riverside forest was heavily damaged with trees uprooted in multiple directions. Entering Cousolre, it impacted approximately one hundred homes, stripping roofing from dozens of buildings, breaking windows and doors through strong suction effects, toppling a pole, and scattering debris tens of meters. As it continued northeast and crossed into Belgium, the tornado weakened, producing weak damage consisting of broken branches, uprooted small trees, torn sheet metal, and displaced garden structures, before the damage became increasingly sporadic and the tornado dissipated shortly thereafter.[1] This tornado was rated EF1 by KERAUNOS.[33]
