Since official record keeping began in 1950 Kansas has had over 3,700 recorded tornadoes. Overall the number actual is much higher though as many of the weak tornadoes in the earlier period were never recorded. A figure closer to 6,000 is probably more accurate.

Most days in Kansas go without a tornado. Kansas averages about 105 tornadoes per year, which works out to a mean of less than 1 every 3 days. On top of that tornadoes don't occur at a steady rate. Most tornadoes in Kansas occur in the spring, many of them in outbreaks where several or even several dozen tornadoes can strike the state in the space of a day or two.
