Regina/CMEDIA: A tornado was reportedly confirmed to have touched down near the community of Langbank, Saskatchewan (Sask) on Sept. 18, 2024.

It was the third latest in the province on record, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC).

Other tornadoes to occur later in the season in Saskatchewan were in Plunkett on Sept. 26, 1977 and in Drake  on Sept. 20, 1969 ECCC said.

Saskatchewan’s other mid Sept tornadoes occurred on Sept. 11, 1929 in Macklin and Luseland, Sept. 11 1971 southeast of Wolseley and in Creelman, Sept. 13 1936 in Yorkton and Springside, and Sept. 13 1967 in Lumsden.

With Sask’s active weather week including a rare Sept tornado, all of the Sept tornadoes had a F/EF rating of zero or were not rated at all, according to ECCC.
