I don’t have live tornado monitoring data at the moment, but I can share how to check for tornado threats in London, Ontario, today.
What to check for today
- Environment alerts: Look for tornado watches or warnings issued by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) and local media.
- Radar and satellite: Use live radar to detect strong rotation or hook echoes; National Weather Service/Storm Prediction Center-style products aren’t for Canada, but Canadian radar services (like radar available via Environment Canada or reputable weather sites) can show rotation and storm intensity.
- Sky conditions: Tornado risk is higher with severe thunderstorms, so monitor
- dark, rapidly building cumulonimbus clouds
- strong, gusty winds
- hail potential
- a loud roar similar to a freight train (as a sign of a tornado in progress)
Where to look right now
- Environment Canada weather alerts for London, Ontario
- Local news stations’ weather segments
- Reputable weather apps with Canadian coverage (e.g., The Weather Network, AccuWeather, Environment Canada radar)
- Twitter/X feeds from official meteorologists or emergency management for real-time warnings
If you want, I can:
- Check current alerts and summarize them
- Explain how to read a radar image for tornado-indicative rotation
- Set up a quick safety checklist for tornado preparedness in your area
