Tornadoes can form in almost any sort of climate except for polar or extreme desert. However, they are most common over areas with a temperate grassland type climate, where collisions of air masses of different temperatures and moisture content frequently cause intense thunderstorms.

How does climate affect tornadoes?

How often tornadoes occur in different regions is a function of climate. Tornadoes are weather events and climate is the long-term behavior of the weather. In simple terms, tornadoes occur in areas whose climates support the formation of strong thunderstorms and wind shear.

How does climate change make tornadoes?

The common idea is that a warmer climate means that there will be more energy to power violent storms such as tornadoes. This view is grossly oversimplified. Weather and climate are very complex and difficult to predict. Scientists are still uncertain how climate change might affect tornadoes.
