Hi all!

Not sure if this is in the right place but here's a couple of pics of a funnel cloud/tornado that formed over peterborough at about 1630 today. I think it very briefly touched the ground but I didn't get a picture of as I was driving at the time - still kicking myself that I didnt think to pick up my camera when I went barreling out of work as I saw it forming! anyway:

Fantastic captures there Iain, not bad for a day with a weakly sheared atmosphere, must have been some strong updrafts and low-level vorticity from wind convergence to create that in the area.

Brilliant.

Hope you don't mind me linking the pictures to UKww, as they have a RFMI on the Peterborough area 'Tornado'.

The glorious flatlands of Lincolnshire. Seems to be doing well at the moment with the old downward flirt of a cloud.

There was a bit of one towards the hills on the other side of Chesterfield yesterday afternoon. Though not a smooth edged funnel type formation (no camera available)

However. It did look a bit like the ones that decend from the cloud base but are rough on the edges?

Anyway Iain. Fantastic pictures though.

Welcome :lol:

Yes Peterborough is in Cambridgeshire but the Lincs Border is only 3miles away!. I can't believe I missed this tornado today and im gutted to say the least.

I must say that the Peterborough region is doing rather well for Tornados. I make that now 5 sightings of tornados in the past 2 yrs which is pretty good going IMO.

Anglia tonight news had a few good shots of the Funnel. They didn't know if touched down or caused damage though.
