Most tornadoes form during supercell thunderstorms as a result of the mesocyclone (organized rotation in the atmosphere) lowering into and below the cloud base. As the mesocyclone descends, there is a convergence between the cool air of the downdraft and the warm air of the updraft. This causes the rotating wall cloud to form. As the mesocyclone descends even further, it becomes the funnel cloud that is visible to the eye. The 2006 Saroma tornado in northern Japan was the countryÕs deadliest ever recorded.
