Very large hail (around 8–9 cm in diameter) fell last night (14.07.2026 23:52 CEST +/- 15 min) near Géronce, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France, as a supercell thunderstorm moved through the area. 📷 Sabrina Kadi via La République des Pyrénées (Facebook).

ESWD webpage got a small, but very nice update: you can track how many reports have been submitted overall, in this year, and this month. There are more than half a million reports now in the database! And that's incredible.

Incredible hyper-lapse video of a large tornado moving across south Enid, Oklahoma! Captured with our Enid cam, you will see the tornado disappear into a curtain of hail only to remerge moments later! #okwx @KOCOMichael @NWSNorman @KOCOdamonlane @MikeMorganKFOR

@Sivasub08912355 @Sekai_WX @Djpuco Sure!

@Sekai_WX @igolask @Djpuco Could you guys possibly take a look into this?

I found an undocumented tornado scar in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Date: 2020/08/04 at 14:00-14:30 UTC Coords: 44.028894653471916, 16.790834703262792 Probably a high-EF2 to low-EF3, especially near the end of its life.

@mvvictori ¿Conoces quizá el lugar exacto y la hora en que ocurrió el fenómeno? ¡Gracias!

‼️🌪️Tornado in #Ermont and nearby areas such as #SaintPrix likely reached at least IF2 intensity, based on roof structure damage to residential buildings and overturned cars. 📸 Photo credit: Groupe d’Ermont, Arnaud Brunet, Actualités du Val-d’Oise / Facebook

@WeatherSarov1 I know that I’m late, but do you know the exact source of the photo? It looks like the hailstone could be at least 10 cm across.

Large hail in Novooskolsky District, Belgorod oblast, Russia, July 19.

@uzytkownikc @SOB_pl @SkywarnPoland Dzięki. Przypadek ten został potwierdzony jako słaba trąba powietrzna o sile IF0.

@SOB_pl @SkywarnPoland @igolask w Ostrowie (woj. pomorskie) prawdopodobnie przeszła słaba trąba powietrzna

Yesterday’s tornado south of Ełk, northeastern Poland. We are currently investigating the event. The tornado passed through a local forest, causing considerable damage - plausibly up to IF1.5.

Great infographic, especially considering that for many people it's much easier to relate to a reference object with a known size, such as a coin or a golf ball

Using the coin as a reference object, the largest hailstone in the photo is 11 cm across. This makes it the first giant hail report (>= 10 cm) in Latvia, at least based on what is available in the ESWD. Photograph by Sigita Zaļā in Palsmane.

@Hailz_Serbia @PavanFederico00 @Djpuco It's quite likely. Did the funnel make ground contact?

Bečej, N Serbia! RFD cut on the first photo? @PavanFederico00 @Djpuco @igolask What do you think?

Time to reminisce about 2024! There were 1035 tornadoes in that year, out of which 655 were waterspouts. Tornadoes killed 1 and injured 19 people and the strongest torndo reached an IF3 rating.

Waterspout becomes a tornado in Tel Aviv! Direct impact on a few people, no one hurt fortunately, mostly people in total awe 😍😍

We have exceeded 10 000 large hail reports mark for this year! We are currently standing at 10 084 reports and our ESWD staff is still submitting reports for still incomplete summer cases. So stay tuned for more, including our annual hail summary blog coming up in January.
