What else can I help you with?
In what weather do tornadoes occur?
Tornadoes occur during severe thunderstorms.
Is it cloudy when tornadoes happen?
Yes. Tornadoes occur during thunderstorms.
Is precipitation associated with tornadoes?
Yes. Tornadoes occur during thunderstorms that produce rain and often hail.
Are tornadoes thunderstorms?
No. Tornadoes are violent whirlwinds that can form during thunderstorms.
In what percent of thunderstorms do tornadoes occur?
About 1% of thunderstorms produce tornadoes.
What is the percentage of thunderstorms do tornadoes occur?
On average, only about 1-2% of thunderstorms produce tornadoes. Tornado formation is a complex process that requires specific atmospheric conditions to be met, which are not present in most thunderstorms.
Do tornadoes usually happen during a thunderstorm?
Tornadoes always happen during thunderstorms. They cannot occur without them.
How are tornadoes and lightning related?
Tornadoes and lightning are often associated with severe thunderstorms. Lightning can occur before, during, or after a tornado is formed. Tornadoes can form within severe thunderstorms where there is intense updraft and rotation in the atmosphere, which can be fueled by lightning activity.
How are thunderstorms and tornados similar?
Both tornadoes and thunderstorms are potentially dangerous weather events that occur as a result of convection. Tornadoes are a product of thunderstorms
What kind of weather is in a tornado?
Tornadoes produce very powerful winds. They occur during severe thunderstorms.
What kind of places do tornadoes appear?
Tornadoes can occur almost anywhere thunderstorms do, though most often in areas with a warm or temperate climate. They occur during thunder storms.
Why do the majority of tornadoes occur during the day?
During the day the sun heats the ground, which in turn heats the lower atmosphere, this destabilizes the atmosphere, which can lead to thunderstorms. Such storms are needed to produce tornadoes. Atmospheric instability can occur at any time of day or night, but tends to be greatest during the day due to the heat of the sun. The greater the instability the stronger the thunderstorms are, and the stronger the thunderstorms the more likely they are to produce tornadoes.
