The U.S. averages about 1200 tornadoes per year which works out to an average of about 3.3 per day.

It is far from an even distribution, though. First, tornadoes are far more common in spring and summer than in the winter and activity varies from year to year. Second, tornadoes often occur in outbreaks with major events sometimes producing several dozen tornadoes in a single day. Between outbreaks there can be periods of little to no tornado activity. The largest number of tornadoes observed in 24 hours is 208 set on April 27, 2011.

Accurate global statistics are not available as many countries do not keep records of tornadoes.

Tornado activity is not spread out evenly from one day to the next. There are may days, especially in the winter, when there are no tornadoes. During outbreaks, several to several dozen tornadoes may touch down within 24 hours.

On average the U.S. see just over 3 tornadoes per day (global figures are not available. But it varies widely from day to day. Most tornadoes occur in spring or early summer.

In the U.S. most days out of the year (about 190 out of 365 in an average year) do not see any tornadoes, while the day of a major outbreak may see several dozen. On April 27, 2011 the U.S. saw a record of 208 tornadoes in one day.

The upper limit, if there is one, is not known. The highest number recorded in a day is 207 on April 27, 2011 which smashed the previous record of 148 set back in 1974.

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.
