Niger tornadoes are severe weather phenomena that occur in the country of Niger, primarily during the rainy season. These tornadoes can develop from thunderstorms and are characterized by rotating columns of air that extend from the base of a cloud to the ground. They can cause significant damage to buildings, infrastructure, and the environment. The occurrence of tornadoes in Niger is relatively rare compared to other regions, but when they do happen, they can be destructive. Meteorologists study these events to better understand their formation and to improve warning systems, helping to protect communities from potential harm.
