What else can I help you with?
Does rain cause a tornado?
No. Rain does not cause a tornado. However, both rain and tornadoes are caused by thunderstorms.
How warm is it inside a tornado?
That is not known. Not enough measurements have been taken from inside a tornado.
What clouds are inside a tornado?
The only cloud you will actually find inside a tornado is the condensation funnel. Other clouds, such as the wall cloud and cumulonimbus are outside the tornado itself.
Is there moisture in tornado?
Yes. There is moisture in a tornado. The air a tornado pulls in has been moistened by rain. This moisture condenses to form the visible funnel cloud.
Is it cold inside a tornado or warm?
The air inside a tornado is cooler than its surroundings. This is not due to the wind or the fact that it comes from the sky, but from the fact that the pressure in a tornado is low. As air enters a tornado it is decompressed rapidly, and cools as a consequence. This is predicted by gas laws. In many cases the temperature inside a tornado is less than the dew point, which is why the funnel forms.
Does rain cause a tornado?
No. Rain does not cause a tornado. However, both rain and tornadoes are caused by thunderstorms.
When there's a tornado if there's rain?
A tornado that is surrounded by rain is said to be rain-wrapped. Rain-wrapped tornadoes can be especially dangerous because they are difficult to see.
Did Springfield Mo get any rain from the twister in Joplin Mo?
The tornado itself did not produce rain. But Springfield did get some rain from the system that produce the tornado.
Do a tornado only cause rain or does a hurricane cause rain?
Tornadoes are accompanied by rain, but they do not produce it themselves. Rather, the rain is a product of the thunderstorm that spawned the tornado. Hurricanes produce very heavy rain.
Does a tornado come before or after rain?
Usually a tornado come after rain, as most tornadoes are located in the rear portion of a supercell.
How much rain comes from a tornado?
A tornado itself does not produce rain, but it can accompany a tornado. The storms the produce tornadoes, called supercells typically produce very heavy rain, often enough to prompt flash flood warnings. This rain may stop before the tornado comes, or the tornado may be rain wrapped. Some storms however, called LP (low-precipitation) supercells produce little to no rain at all, but can still produce tornadoes.
Does a tornado happen when it rain?
Sometimes but not always.
Does rain help a tornado?
No, rain does not help a tornado form. Tornadoes are formed by severe thunderstorms with specific atmospheric conditions, such as wind shear and instability. Rain can occur before, during, or after a tornado, but it is not a contributing factor to the formation of a tornado.
Is rain part of the tornado's formation?
Yes it is. Tornadoes form during thunderstorms, and a downdraft caused by rain is one of the things needed to produce the tornado.
Can a tornado keep you inside?
Considering that you shouldn't go outside during a tornado, yes. You are much safer inside.
What is the density inside a tornado?
Air density inside a tornado is about 5-10% less than that of the air surrounding it.
What kind of raining is in a tornado and hurricane?
Hurricanes produce very heavy rain, enough to pose a very serious flooding risk. The rain is shredded into smaller droplest by the powerful winds and appear to move in an almost horizontal direction. Heavy rain, often accompanied by hail, generally prececes a tornado, but often stops before the tornado hits. The tornado itself is often in a rain-free portion of a thunderstorm. However, some tornadoes are rain-wrapped. The rain can range anywhere from a drizzel to a torrential downpour that blocks the tornado from view.
