Tornado

The tornado icon represents a type of severe weather condition characterized by a rotating column of air. This icon is often used in applications and websites to indicate a tornado warning or alert.

In real-world applications, the tornado icon appears in weather apps like Dark Sky, emergency alert systems like the Emergency Alert System, and disaster response platforms like the American Red Cross. It's also used in meteorology software like Weather Underground to indicate tornado activity.

From a UX perspective, the tornado icon communicates a sense of urgency and danger, helping users understand that a severe weather condition is approaching. Its use helps users navigate interfaces and take necessary precautions.

Tornado is one of 450 icons in Meteocons, made by Bas Milius and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 512 × 512 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds TornadoIcon to components/icons/meteocons-tornado.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed TornadoIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Tornado icon, or any of 450 Meteocons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's multicolor, so it keeps its own colors.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 512 × 512 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It keeps its own colors in light and dark mode, so check it against both backgrounds. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Tornado", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. TornadoIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <TornadoIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Meteocons, Bas Milius and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
