REPORTS OF SEVERE WEATHER TORRO relies on reports of severe weather from the public, as well as those reported in the media. The more reports that we receive and the more witnesses we can talk too, the better it is for our research. If you have witnessed any form of severe weather, be it a tornado, lightning, hail etc, then tell us about your experiences by filling in our Report Form and give us as much information as you can. These reports are then passed to one of our local Site Investigators who may contact you for more information.
TORRO YOU TUBE VIDEO CHANNEL TORRO has created a TORRO You Tube Video Channel to display any videos that we are sent and to link to other weather related videos which are on You Tube. We will try to upload all the videos which are sent to us by members of the public or as part of a site investigation so that they can be used for future reference. If you have a video of an event that you think would be useful to TORRO then please send the details using the Report Form. Large files, images and videos can now be uploaded HERE.


International Journal of Meteorology Started in 1975, IJMet is the associate journal of TORRO to publish the research into UK and international severe weather events. Some types of TORRO membership include a subscription to IJMet or you can just order copies direct.
