It does, however the tornadoes in England are weak and so rarely make headlines. The reason England rarely sees significant tornadoes is its relatively cool climate, which does not provide much energy to power tornadic thunderstorms. Tornadoes form most easily near the boundary of a very warm, moist air mass.
