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.


How many tornadoes have been in the world?

Tornadoes have been happening from the beginning from our planet's birth. Since then we have not been able to record the amount because there were no intelligent human life, no recorded written language, and there were tornadoes in areas with no inhabitants. We do not have the exact number of tornadoes that have occurred on this planet. Yet we do have the number of tornadoes average per year in different countries.
