Noone really knows. All we know is that you need a thunderstorm to rotate and an updraft base. However we don't know for sure how exactly tornadoes form but we do know you often need warm moist air and cool dry air. That isn't always the case because tornadoes can occasionally come out of cold fronts.
What else can I help you with?
What is the percentage of thunderstorms do tornadoes occur?
On average, only about 1-2% of thunderstorms produce tornadoes. Tornado formation is a complex process that requires specific atmospheric conditions to be met, which are not present in most thunderstorms.
Is precipitation associated with the type of tornadoes?
Precipitation is not directly associated with the type of tornadoes, but it can influence their formation and intensity. Tornadoes can occur in a variety of precipitation conditions, ranging from clear skies to heavy rain. However, strong thunderstorms with abundant moisture and instability are more likely to produce tornadoes.
Do tornadoes usually happen during a thunderstorm?
Tornadoes always happen during thunderstorms. They cannot occur without them.
What two seasons are tornadoes least likely to occur?
Tornadoes are least common in winter and autumn.
Do tornadoes form thunderclouds?
Yes, tornadoes are often associated with thunderstorms. Thunderstorms provide the necessary conditions for tornado formation, such as strong updrafts and wind shear. Tornadoes typically form within severe thunderstorms.
In what weather do tornadoes occur?
Tornadoes occur during severe thunderstorms.
In what percent of thunderstorms do tornadoes occur?
About 1% of thunderstorms produce tornadoes.
What is the percentage of thunderstorms do tornadoes occur?

Is it cloudy when tornadoes happen?
Yes. Tornadoes occur during thunderstorms.
How are thunderstorms and tornados similar?
Both tornadoes and thunderstorms are potentially dangerous weather events that occur as a result of convection. Tornadoes are a product of thunderstorms
Do thunderstorms occur during tornadoes?
Yes. Tornadoes form during severe thunderstorms. They cannot form without them.
Do tornadoes occur from snowstorms?
No. Tornadoes occur from severe thunderstorms called supercells. It is doubtful that a tornado can form in a snowstorm.
Do tornadoes only happen in the US?
No. Tornadoes can occur almost anywhere that gets thunderstorms.
What destructive weather pheonomenon can occur when there are very severe thunderstorms?
Tornadoes
Where else in the world besides the US do tornadoes occur?
Everywhere that there are thunderstorms.
Is precipitation associated with tornadoes?
Yes. Tornadoes occur during thunderstorms that produce rain and often hail.
Do tornadoes occur elsewhere in the world besides the US?
Yes. Tornadoes can occur almost anywhere that gets thunderstorms. Tornadoes have been recorded on every continent except Antarctica.
