Moving over a warm body of water may cause a tornado to gain strength. The flat surface will allow the tornado's winds to move largely unimpeded by friction. Moisture evaporating from the warm surface may also provide extra energy fro the storm. A cold body of water may cause the storm to weaken if it is large enough.

Climate is the overall, long-term weather pattern for an area. Some climates are more prone to tornadoes than others. The most conducive climate for tornadoes is one that is warm overall but sees a significant amount of temperature variation on an annual basis and which also receives sufficient moisture to power strong thunderstorms.

Tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are fueled by warm, moist air and get their power from the energy released when water vapor condenses. The source of moisture is often a warm body of water.
