1/8/2026 7:10 PM CDT update on the current site outage: we are in the process of a server transition and upgrade that will result in downtime until it is complete. Our previous traffic allowance was exceeded with the old provider. We thank you for your patience during this maintenance period.

We're aware that the tornadoarchive site is currently down and are working to fix the problem. It may take up to 24 hours for the site to come back online. Thank you for your patience.

v2.3.1 is live, which includes the 2024 US data and the Philippines data! This also includes the globe view and bug fixes for European environment data and missing wind barbs for all environment data on some machines. tornadoarchive.com/home/tornado...

2024 was a very busy year for tornadoes in the US, so it's taken a while to get all the data processed. We're in the final stages of this task, and the 2024 US data will hopefully be released soon. We're also working on getting updated European data from ESWD, hopefully this summer.

In our next database release we will have a data void over the Philippines filled with the Severe Weather Archive of the Philippines (SWAP) dataset. We are thankful of Generich Capuli for donating and maintaining the data! You may view the SWAP project on Zenodo: doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

As a first non-introductory post, we'd like to refer you to our BAMS paper that was recently published this summer that describes the features of our tornado database: journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...
