Yes tornados occur regularly in the UK. The difference is that fortunately they are weak. There is supposed to be more tornados in the UK than in the USA they just are not on anything like the same scale. I have not seen any tornados myself but I have seen the beginnings of a tornado in a funnel cloud - a sharp triangular cloud pointing to the ground. If these touch the ground then you have a tornado.

How many tornadoes happen in the UK?

The majority of UK tornadoes are not recorded. So most statistics on the number of recorded tornadoes in the UK are usually around 70. Most UK tornadoes happen in the countryside (so don't get noticed) and are very small (usually). It is common belief that more tornadoes happen in the UK than in the US (tornado ally included) - Although US tornadoes are way bigger and stronger than those in the UK and so more are likely to be noticed and therefore recorded. Tornadoes in the UK usually happen in the summer when the weather conditions are right.
