The majority of UK tornadoes are not recorded. So most statistics on the number of recorded tornadoes in the UK are usually around 70. Most UK tornadoes happen in the countryside (so don't get noticed) and are very small (usually). It is common belief that more tornadoes happen in the UK than in the US (tornado ally included) - Although US tornadoes are way bigger and stronger than those in the UK and so more are likely to be noticed and therefore recorded. Tornadoes in the UK usually happen in the summer when the weather conditions are right.

Why do people think there are so many tornadoes in the UK?

The UK has a high concentration of tornadoes, but these tornadoes are generally so weak that they attract little attention. Technically, the UK gets more tornadoes per 10,000 square miles than the U.S. does on average. Many people misintepret this as meaning that the UK gets more tornadoes, but this is not the case. The U.S. averages more than 1,200 tornadoes a year and has an area of about 3,800,000 square miles, giving it 3.2 tornadoes per 10,000 square miles. The UK averages about 70 tornadoes per year and has an area of about 94,000 square miles, giving it an average of about 7.4 tornadoes per 10,000 square miles. However, tornadoes in the U.S. are stronger more concentrated on the central plains and in the Deep South. While the UK has only had a handful of tornadoes stronger than F1 in the past 50 years, the U.S. expriences F4 and F5 tornadoes on a regular basis.
