Tornadoes are produced by very strong thunderstorms. Thunderstorms typically produce rain.
Hurricanes produce very heavy rain, enough to pose a very serious flooding risk. The rain is shredded into smaller droplest by the powerful winds and appear to move in an almost horizontal direction. Heavy rain, often accompanied by hail, generally prececes a tornado, but often stops before the tornado hits. The tornado itself is often in a rain-free portion of a thunderstorm. However, some tornadoes are rain-wrapped. The rain can range anywhere from a drizzel to a torrential downpour that blocks the tornado from view.
Tornadoes form during strong thunderstorms, so they are usually accompanied by heavy rain, but they do not produce rain themselves. Many tornadoes form in a rain-free portion of their parent thunderstorm while others are embedded in rain.
No. The unequal heating will produce breezes, and perhaps clouds and rain, but much more is required to produce a tornado.
Yes, both hurricanes and tornadoes can produce precipitation. Hurricanes typically bring heavy rainfall over a wide area, while tornadoes can generate intense localized rainfall in the immediate vicinity of the tornado itself.
No. A typhoon is neither underwater, not a tornado. Rather, a typhoon is essentially the same thing as a hurricane. It is a large and intense tropical storm system that brings powerful winds, torrential rain, and large waves. A typhoon is much larger than a tornado and is its own self-sustaining weather system.
Yes. If a tornado is rain wrapped rain can be drawn into the circulation.
No. Rain does not cause a tornado. However, both rain and tornadoes are caused by thunderstorms.
A tornado that is surrounded by rain is said to be rain-wrapped. Rain-wrapped tornadoes can be especially dangerous because they are difficult to see.
The tornado itself did not produce rain. But Springfield did get some rain from the system that produce the tornado.
Tornadoes are accompanied by rain, but they do not produce it themselves. Rather, the rain is a product of the thunderstorm that spawned the tornado. Hurricanes produce very heavy rain.
Usually a tornado come after rain, as most tornadoes are located in the rear portion of a supercell.
A tornado itself does not produce rain, but it can accompany a tornado. The storms the produce tornadoes, called supercells typically produce very heavy rain, often enough to prompt flash flood warnings. This rain may stop before the tornado comes, or the tornado may be rain wrapped. Some storms however, called LP (low-precipitation) supercells produce little to no rain at all, but can still produce tornadoes.
Sometimes but not always.
No, rain does not help a tornado form. Tornadoes are formed by severe thunderstorms with specific atmospheric conditions, such as wind shear and instability. Rain can occur before, during, or after a tornado, but it is not a contributing factor to the formation of a tornado.
Yes it is. Tornadoes form during thunderstorms, and a downdraft caused by rain is one of the things needed to produce the tornado.

Tornado is to hurricane. Both involve violent wind and weather conditions on a larger scale compared to rain and shower.
