List of Tornado in Tamil Nadu in last 15 years, we stand that Yesterday event in Thoothukudi was indeed a Tornado. 1. Chennai (Uthandi) September 12, 2013 (1st Photo enclosed) 2. Sankarankoil in Tirunelveli November 18, 2015 3. Nazareth in Thoothukudi October 26, 2016 4. Thoothukudi on June 21, 2026 (yesterday event, 2nd photo enclosed) In 2013, it was hard to see whether the funnel cloud touched the ground. But IMD officials confirmed that it was Tornado after thorough analysis. This time, IMD has stated that the Thoothukudi event of June 2026 was not a tornado. However, instead of undertaking a detailed investigation into why such an unusual phenomenon occurred and whether similar events could become more frequent in the future, the matter appears to have been closed rather hastily. There are compelling reasons why the Thoothukudi event warrants closer scientific scrutiny. What makes the event noteworthy is the combination of: • A visible funnel cloud/vortex; • Reported injuries (6 members of the public) • Structural damage and uprooted trees see the video - • Occurrence beneath an active thunderstorm. Taken together, these characteristics are consistent with features commonly associated with weak tornadoes or landspouts. While the final classification should be based on detailed meteorological and damage assessments, the available evidence suggests that the event deserves a comprehensive post event study rather than a summary dismissal. The damage patterns visible in the photographs and videos shared through the links, together with eyewitness accounts, appear to indicate that the rotating funnel extended from the cloud base to the ground. The visual evidence suggests a continuous connection between the cloud and the surface, accompanied by localized damage along its path. Attention should be given to understanding why such tornado like phenomena have been observed repeatedly in Tamil Nadu over the past decade and whether changing atmospheric and oceanic conditions are making them more likely.

Appreciate the sensible reply given by IMD, Thank you. 1. To clarify media takes my quote from my tweets / fb posts. I avoid coming in TV to the extent possible. This all press knows. 2. State and Central Government or whoever it maybe if they ask me about a weather update i say my view to them. 3. I dont tweet on politics in my tweet or fb posts and I strictly maintain my tweets to weather. I always put stats and number for the last 10 years. 4. Lastly even our mobile app, FB, google, evano international stations they all update about our local weather. Namma ooru aalu naan, i am free to say about weather till public expects it. 5. The moment i feel, my updates are not required by public i will stop. Weather blogging used to be fun and not anymore. This hate by few is beyond understandable limits.

Had the honor of launching the weather balloon for upper air data collection in NOAA Boise NWS Boise. A radiosonde is a battery-powered instrument package attached to a weather balloon that measures atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, and wind speed as it ascends. Transmitting real-time data via radio to ground stations. The upper air data is crucial for input into weather models and useful for predicting severe damal dumeels. The radiosonde flight can last for more than two hours. During this time, the balloon can ascend to heights exceeding 35 km and drift over 200 km from the launch point. Throughout the journey, the radiosonde experiences extreme atmospheric conditions, including temperatures as low as -92°C and air pressures that are only a fraction of those at Earth’s surface. When the balloon has expanded beyond its elastic limit (20-25 feet in diameter) and bursts, the radiosonde returns to Earth via a small parachute. This slows its descent, minimizing the danger to life and property.
