• You might associate tornadoes with the plains of the central US, but they’re surprisingly common in the UK too – albeit smaller and weaker.
• In fact, my former PhD student Kelsey Mulder found that the UK has about 2.3 tornadoes per year per 10,000 square kilometres.
• That’s a higher density than the US, which as a whole has just 1.3 per 10,000 square km.
• Nonetheless, a random location in the UK is more likely to experience a tornado than a random location in the US.

England has three ‘tornado alleys’

• These tornadoes aren’t as violent as the more extreme ones in the US, but the damage can still be substantial.
• Although the Birmingham tornado was the most damaging tornado on that day, two others were recorded across the British Isles.
• Indeed, around 70% of UK tornado days have at least two reports, and 13% produce three or more.

What causes tornadoes

• We do know that “supercells” – rotating thunderstorms tens of kilometres across – form the largest tornadoes in the US but occur less frequently in the UK.
• Instead, tornadoes in the UK tend to be formed from lines of storms along cold fronts.
• Our group has been trying to understand what causes some of these parent storms to begin to rotate and eventually spawn tornadoes.
• Recent advances in computing and our collaborations with colleagues in engineering may yet reveal the secrets of UK tornadoes.
