The Northern Tornadoes Project is asking Saskatchewan residents to send them damage reports after a late season tornado touched down Wednesday in the southeast of the province. NTP says a supercell tornado developed near Langbank. Anyone who has information is asked to send damage reports to ntp@uwo.ca. Prior to this tornado Environment Canada had stated Saskatchewan officially had 17 tornadoes this summer.
Dr. David Sills, Executive Director with the Northern Tornadoes Project, says there are now 18 tornadoes in Saskatchewan for the summer of 2024. He says, “The normal annual number of tornadoes for SK (based on 1991-2020 data) is 14.6. So somewhat above normal this year. Which is in stark contrast to 2023 where only one tornado was recorded.”
