Skywarn Europe

Skywarn Europe is a network of volunteer storm spotters throughout Europe based on the U.S. Skywarn program (a similar program, Canwarn operates in Canada).

Its members attend severe weather training courses and deliver real-time observations of current weather conditions that may be used to warn the public. Its postings may afterwards be entered into databases to evaluate meteorologists' forecasts.{{cite web|title=An updated estimate of tornado occurrence in Europe|publisher=European Severe Storms Laboratory|url=http://www.essl.org/people/dotzek/pdf/ecss02s.pdf|access-date=2009-10-27|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://wayback.archive-it.org/all/20070614014358/http://www.essl.org/people/dotzek/pdf/ecss02s.pdf|archive-date=2007-06-14}}
