It would probably cool inside a tornado but not quite cold. Tornadoes form best in warm weather, but due to the rapid pressure drop, a tornado is cooler than its surroundings.

What is the main reason tornadoes form?

When cold air and hot air mix together it forms a tornado.


Do tornadoes have to mix with hot air?

No. The common description of tornadoes forming from a collision of hot and cold air is a gross oversimplification. The collision of air masses often produces the storms that spawn tornadoes, but is not a direct cause of the tornadoes themselves. The storms do not necessarily arise from such a collision either. However, the presence of hot, humid air is one of the most favorable factors for tornadoes to form as that is when the air holds the most latent energy.


Are tornadoes made when the hot and cold are together?

No. The description of hot and cold air coming together is based on an oversimplified scenario often given by the media. A collision of hot and cold air simply results in a front. Fronts, particularly cold fronts where cold air pushes away warm air, often result in stormy weather, but the nature of those storms depends on other conditions. In the summer cold fronts often bring thunderstorms, which may be severe. If the storms are strong enough and the winds are configured in the right way, then some of them might produce tornadoes.


Do tornadoes form when it is cold and windy with no clouds?

No. Tornadoes only form with thunderstorms.


What is an incorrect hypothesis for how a tornado is formed?

An in correct and, unfortunately, commonly cited explanation of how tornadoes form is along the lines of "hot and cold air mix together ans swirl." While a collision of warm and cold air often plays a role in tornado formation, it is not a direct cause of tornadoes.

Are the insides of tornadoes hot or cold?

Because of the cooling that occurs when air is decompressed, the inside of a tornado is cooler than the air around it, but probably is not exactly cold, since tornadoes are usually associated with warm weather.


Are drylines a factor for tornadoes?

The dry line can cause tornadoes. The dry line can in fact be more conducive for the formation of tornadoes than a cold front is. The area where a cold front and dry line intersect, called a triple point, is often a hot spot for tornado formation.

Why is summer a good season for tornadoes?

It is good because the weather can change a lot in summer (heat and humitidy) then tornadoes start to form in the mist of hot and cold tempatures. These storms that create and funtion tornadoes are often know as supercells.

Will there be a water tornado if you mixed cold water and boiling water?

No. You simply get water of an intermediate temperature. Tornadoes are not simply a product of "hot meeting cold." The are a wide variety of factors.


Can tornadoes form icicles?

No. Tornadoes are not a cold weather phenomenon.


Could there be tornadoes in LA?

a tornadeo can be formed any where but it is vey unlikely to happen in LA because a torndoes need a hot and cold air suply


Intense cold fronts and squall lines create tornado conditions?

Cold fronts often do result in storms that produce tornadoes, but are not a direct cause of tornadoes. Not all tornadoes are associated with cold fronts, nor do all cold fronts result in the formation of tornadoes. Other conditions, such as wind shear and instability, need to be present for tornadoes to occur. Squall lines can produce tornadoes, but those tornadoes are usually short-lived and weak. Tornadoes are more often associated with discrete supercell thunderstorms.
