Canada is changing the way it issues thunderstorm and tornado warnings, introducing a more targeted system designed to tell people whether they are actually in the path of a dangerous storm. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has introduced storm-based warnings that can cover a specific area around a severe thunderstorm or tornado, rather than relying only on larger, predetermined warning zones.
The change is intended to make alerts more precise and reduce unnecessary warnings for people who are far from the immediate threat.
