  A severe weather outbreak produced scattered tornadoes across Europe from May 2–4, producing a total of 11 tornadoes across several countries. On May 2, conditions in Iberia, namely a cold front pulling warm, moist air from the Mediterranean into an unstable environment with high wind shear, allowed for the development of long-lasting supercells. Two tornadoes touched down in southeastern Portugal: one IF1.5 tornado near Beja caused significant roof damage while another IF2 tornado near Campo Maior caused widespread damage to the neighborhood of Degolados and injured one person. Remnants of this system continued to create a risk of severe weather in Portugal the next day, as a waterspout moved ashore off the coast of Sesimbra and a large IF1.5 tornado tracked through Sardoal in central Portugal. Similar conditions in parts of Southern Europe spawned an IF1.5 tornado in Turkey on May 3 and a landspout tornado in Cyprus the next day. Throughout Central Europe, conditions were similar to Iberia, supporting supercell development. Three tornadoes ravaged forests and damaged buildings throughout Germany on May 3, and the weakening system produced a final weak tornado in Belarus the next day, concluding the outbreak.
