Tornadoes are known by various names in different parts of the world. In the UK, they are often referred to as "tornadoes" as well, but the term "funnel cloud" is also used to describe the visible condensation associated with them. In some regions, such as Australia, they are called "willy-willies." In other countries, local terminology may apply, but the scientific term "tornado" is widely recognized globally.
