How many thunderstorms occur each day?
The U.S. averages about 1200 tornadoes per year which works out to an average of about 3.3 per day. It is far from an even distribution, though. First, tornadoes are far more common in spring and summer than in the winter and activity varies from year to year. Second, tornadoes often occur in outbreaks with major events sometimes producing several dozen tornadoes in a single day. Between outbreaks there can be periods of little to no tornado activity. The largest number of tornadoes observed in 24 hours is 208 set on April 27, 2011. Accurate global statistics are not available as many countries do not keep records of tornadoes.
