Tornadoes often lift soil from the ground. This soil usually scatters as it is picked up, so it is usually most visible in the bottom portion of the tornado. This dust whirl as it is called will take on the color of the area's soil, and many tornadoes happen to hit areas with dark colored soils.

Are tornadoes visible?

Yes. Tornadoes are often made visble by condensation in their funnels and by dust and debris. However, some tornadoes may be obsured from view by rain or the dark of night.


Why are tornadoes so dark?

Tornadoes are not necessarily dark, though they are often opaque. Tornadoes occur during severe thunderstorms and the clouds of such storms often block a significant amount of sunlight. The condensation funnel is essentially a part of the cloud and will appear a similar color. However tornadoes that are front lit can appear light gray or even white. Tornadoes can also lift up large amounts of soil, which changes the color of the tornado. If the soil is dark, the tornado will be too.

Why do tornadoes appear black?

Tornadoes do not always appear black. The apparent color depends on lighting conditions and how much and what color of soil is being lifted. Many tornadoes appear dark because of perspective: the are lit from behind and are essentially silhouetted against the light source. The same tornado may appear lighter if viewed from a different angle. The storms that spawn tornadoes have very thick clouds that often making conditions appear very dark. The clouds themselves may be black. Some tornadoes may be black as they lift large amounts of black soil into the air.

What causes the tornado funnel cloud to black and dark?

The funnel cloud of a tornado is full of water droplets just like an ordinary cloud. As a result it blocks light and may appear dark. A tornado may also appear dark if it is lifting large amounts of dark soil into the air. However, not all tornadoes are dark in color. Front-lit tornadoes may appear light gray or even white. Depending on the soil some tornadoes may be light tan, to reddish brown, to gray in color.
