No, that would be a monsoon.

A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground.

Can fluctuation of wind cause a tornado?

Not directly. But changes in wind speed and direction in altitude, called wind shear, plays an important role in tornado formation.

What wind changes direction with the seasons?

The monsoon wind changes direction with the seasons. In summer, it blows from the ocean towards the land due to the temperature difference, bringing heavy rains, while in winter, it reverses direction blowing from land to sea.


Does a tornado have wind?

A tornado IS wind- very fast winds spinning in a circle.


What explains the effect a tornado has on a normal wind speed and direction?

A tornado will produce a very rapid increase in wind speed and similarly rapid changes in wind direction. This is because the wind in a tornado spins around a central axis at high speed. Wind direction shifts as different parts of the tornado pass over.

Is there such thing as tornado wind?

Yes, in simplest terms a tornado is a vortex of very strong wind.


Which direction will the wind blow when a tornado is near?

That varies. If you are close enough to be in the area of the tornado's inflow then the wind will blow almost directly towards the tornado, perhaps a little to the right of that direction. In that case the wind direction will depend on where the tornado is relative to you. If you are beyond the inflow area for the tornado, then nothing about the wind direction would indicate the approaching tornado.


What word refers to the day to day changes in temperature wind speed and precipitation?

Weather is the term for changes in atmospheric temperature. Season is the term for the length of days.


What keeps wind rotating inside a tornado?

The rotation in a tornado is driven by the wind shear, which is the change in wind speed and direction with height. This wind shear creates a horizontal rotation that is then tilted vertically by updrafts in the storm, leading to the spinning motion of the tornado.
