Best Answer

No. Air in a tornado rapidly rises in altitude. Air may sink gently in the centers of some tornadoes. As a tornado strikes, air pressure drops rapidly.

Why does a tornado have to be a funnel?

They don't have to be. Tornadoes that form under dry conditions may lack a funnel. Tornadoes usually have funnels because they pull in moist air from other parts of the parent thunderstorm. The pressure drop in the tornado produces a temperature drop, which in turn triggers condensation.

Yes, it can. When a cold front moves in, the temperature can drop suddenly and dramatically. This is the sort of temperature change that can precipitate storms and tornadoes.

Are tornadoes hot are cold?

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.
