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.

The number of tornadoes that occur in a day varies greatly. This is largely because many tornadoes occur in outbreaks, events where a weather system produces multiple tornadoes over the course of a few hours to a few days. During a major outbreak it is possible for there to be several dozen tornadoes in a single day. On days between outbreaks there may be a handful of isolated tornadoes or none at all. Overall tornado activity also varies seasonally, with tornadoes occurring more often in the warmer months.
When do tornadoes occur and what do tornadoes cause?
Tornadoes occur during severe thunderstorms, most often a variety of thunderstyorm called a supercell. They can occur at any time of year and at any time of day or night but are most common during the spring and summer and in the later afternoon or early evening. Tornadoes damage or destroyed vegetation and mandmade structures in their paths. People may be killed or injured. In the worst cases entire towns may be destroyed.
