Breaking: Tornado warning issued for Lancashire
The Tornado and Storm Research Organisation issued the alert earlier this afternoon and said it will remain in place until 1am on Tuesday. "Isolated tornadoes" are possible, along with "modestly large hail and gusty winds".
The TORRO log said: "Rather intense vertically-stacked low is to the SW of the Republic of Ireland. A shortwave trough is moving ENE and will overspread the area this afternoon and evening. “The main factor leading our weather in the next few days and indeed through the week is an area of low pressure that’s coming to the west of the UK. And it sits there through the week very slowly moving eastward,” Mr Claydon said.
“Compared to the weather that we’ve had throughout the summer, with prolonged dry conditions and high pressure, it is very much a change in weather type as we’ve moved into autumn. Particularly in warning areas it’s best to keep up to date with the forecast to understand how it might affect you.” Many conditions need to be present for a tornado to form but, when these conditions are met, a violently whirling mass of air, known as a vortex, forms beneath the storm cloud. A funnel cloud usually develops as the vortex forms due to the reduced pressure in the vortex.
