Relatively little is known on how Neptune's atmosphere might operate on the scale that tornadoes do. However, the dynamics of Neptune's atmosphere are rather different from those on Earth, with large storms developing from anticyclones rather than cyclones and the lack of a solid surface. Tornadoes as we know them likely do not occur there, but we cannot rule out somewhat similar intense vortices.
