July 7 (Europe) A scattered day of severe storms across Central Europe spawned a few tornadoes. A waterspout made landfall and caused no damage north of Trieste in Northeast Italy. The tornado formed as part of the Deer Creek Fire, a fast moving and destructive wildfire that formed 2 days earlier. The tornado was approximately on the ground for 12 minutes and was nearly stationary as it moved north east. Strong winds influenced the formation of the fire tornado over the Deer Creek Fire. Strong wind gusts coming off the La Sal mountain range, flowing over the mountains like a river over rocks. The mountains disrupted the wind, creating a body of swirling air, spinning flames into the mostly stationary fire tornado. Rugged terrain and limited road access complicated fire suppression efforts. Due to damage found at a single family home, July 27–28 (United States) . Back-to-back days of tornado activity focused over South Dakota. On July 27, a strong, photogenic tornado occurred west of Watertown. The tornado inflicted significant damage to a farmstead where a garage was swept from its foundation, and the main residence had only interior walls left standing. Significant tree damage was also observed. The next day on July 28, an isolated supercell produced three separate tornadoes in Gregory County.

In total, the two-day outbreak resulted in at least one fatality and 14 reported injuries. August 28–29 (Europe) The remnants of Hurricane Erin established a strong upper-level trough over Western Europe, which, along with high instability and wind shear, created a volatile environment for storm development. The primary risk of these severe storms were extreme wind and rainfall, although some tornadoes were also predicted, particularly across France and Northern Italy. August 28 primarily featured strong wind events, with up to IF2-strength winds affecting parts of Northern Italy, although one rain-wrapped tornado caused minor damage in Somaglia. Two tornadoes occurred in Italy on the 29th and impacted Verderio Superiore, where roof tiles were blown off homes and trees were uprooted, and Goito, where trees and a power line were damaged.
