It varies. Many days go without a single recorded tornado, while in some major tornado outbreaks, over 100 tornadoes may touch down in a day. To further complicate the issue, many tornadoes in developing nations or in sparsely populate areas go unreported. Based on tornadoes that are recorded though, there is an overall mean of 3 to 4 tornadoes per day, though few days actually see that number of tornadoes.
