When will tornadoes happen in 2016?

Answer 1

It is impossible to give an exact timeline, but it is possible to give a general idea based on how other years behave. Tornadoes will occur throughout the entire year of 2016 with at least a few tornadoes every month. In the U.S. the greatest number of tornadoes, including the strongest, will probably occur in the spring or early summer, most likely in April, May, or June. Due to the current strong El Niño pattern, the winter of 2015-2016 is expected to be warmer than average for the Eastern U.S. which may lead to above average tornado activity in January and February.
