A weak and short-lived tornado with two funnel clouds likely occurred on Wednesday in the Trzcianka area, according to the Storm Observers Network - a non-governmental organisation dedicated to studying, monitoring, and warning against dangerous weather phenomena.

Representatives of the group said that radar scans showed air mass rotation consistent with tornado formation.

Information shared on social media by local storm-tracking groups indicates that two funnel clouds were observed over the Trzcianka area, appearing just ten minutes apart - one near the town itself and another over the nearby village of Teresin, where roof damage was reported.

“The tornado’s strength was likely around EF0 on the five-point scale,” reported the Facebook page of the Trzcianka-Czarnków Storms organisation.
