Today is the 50th anniversary of the Hampstead Storm of 1975 when just over 170mm of rain was recorded in NW London, most of it in two and a half hours. Lots more information on the attached Met Office fact sheet on this storm.

This very probable tornado occurred yesterday (Thurs 4th September) close to the A1 and just north of Cromwell in the east of Nottinghamshire. If you have any further details, especially any damage reports, please let me or TORRO know.

This well taken video is of a tornado that occurred near the village of Caragabal in New South Wales, Australia on Wednesday 10th September 2025. You can see in great detail how it interacts with and damages trees in its path. Not often we get this clear a view.

Some say global warming is not a problem as the world has been much hotter in the past. Don't forget that humans only evolved in the last 5 million years when it was at or colder than the current temperature. Graph thanks to NOAA (pre-Trump).
