Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) says it is retracting confirmation of a tornado reported near Maple Creek, Sask. on May 17. After initial confirmation, the tornado would have been Saskatchewan’s first of 2025. “New evidence has been shared with ECCC that refutes the initial tornado report. While a thunderstorm was present in the area at the time of the report, ECCC does not have sufficient evidence to confirm a tornado at this time,” the weather office said Tuesday on its website. ECCC says it will continue to investigate the weather event.
