A year or two ago, I remember seeing a website which showed a map of the UK
with colour shading indicating where there was a risk of rotation /
vorticity / whatever which might lead to the formation of tornadoes. I have
a feeling that it was an experimental programme of some sort from a
university. Annoyingly, I haven't been able to find the site since then.
Does anyone know the one I mean, or something like it?

Thanks!

I used to do such things for the Met Office. Perhaps it was a leaked map?
Or it could be www.estofex.org ?

The 'Weather' mag July 2014 has quite a good paper on this:

'An updated tornado climatology for the UK: 1981-2010'

by Peter Kirk

Vol 69, Issue 7, pages 171-175, July 2014.

You may find this BBC website page on the "UK's 'tornado alley'
identified" interesting:
