There is no "exact" temperature for a tornado to form, but it usually happens in hot, humid areas. It all has to do with how heavy the rain and wind is and what direction its going in.

What Celsius makes a tornado?

There is no particular temperature at which tornadoes form. Tornado formation depends on many factors, of which temperature in different parts of the atmosphere is just one. However, tornadoes almost never form in temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius.


What temperature does the air have to be for a tornado to occur?

There is no exact temperature. especially since many tornadoes form in storm generate by cold fronts where the temperature changes fairly quickly. However they generally require warm temperatures and rarely form in temperatures of less than 60 degrees Fahrenheit.


What is the temperature needed to form a tornado?

Tornadoes can form when warm, moist air near the ground meets cooler, drier air aloft. The exact temperature needed for tornado formation varies, but typically, tornadoes form in environments with temperatures around 70-90°F (21-32°C).


What are the forms of energy found in a tornado?

In a tornado, the main form of energy is kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion of the swirling air. Additionally, there is potential energy in the form of the storm's convective updrafts and downdrafts, as well as thermal energy created by the temperature difference between the warm air at the surface and the cold air aloft.


Is a tornado a form of matter?

No, a tornado is not a form of matter. It is a natural phenomenon in the atmosphere characterized by a rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground. Tornadoes are composed of air and do not have a physical substance of their own.

What is the temperature when a tornado is alive?

It varies, but tornadoes usually form in warm weather and are followed by a temperature drop. This is because warm air has more energy to power the storms that produce tornadoes. The temperature near the tornado may be a bit lower as the air will likely have been cooled somewhat by rain. There would be another temperature drop inside the tornado itself as a result of the pressure drop.


A tornado warning means that a tornado is likely to form?

Partially. A tornado warning means that a tornado is likely to form or already has formed.


What temperature when a tornado is coming?

tornado formation is not based on temperature, but upon storm structure. you cannot use temperature to determine tornados


Can a tornado form in England?

well i think a tornado can form anywhere


Is it true that a tornado warning means that a tornado might form?

No. A tornado warning means that a tornado is likely to form or has already been spotted.


What is the temperature for a tornado?

Tornadoes don't form at an exact temperature, as they depend upon a wide variety of complex factors of which temperature is just one. It is highly unusual to see them in temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, though not unheard of, particularly at high elevations. Tornadoes form best when very warm, moist air is available. The most severe events have been preceded be temperatures in the mid 80s to the 90s.


What is a fire tornado?

a tornado in the form of fire


What is a tornado watch and a tornado warning?

A tornado watch means that weather conditions are favorable for tornadoes to form in a particular area, and people should stay alert and prepared. A tornado warning means that a tornado has been spotted or detected on radar in the area, and immediate action should be taken to seek shelter.


What temperature brings?

There is not particular temperature at which tornadoes form. It is common, however, for the weather to be hot and humid before a tornado and its parent thunderstorm come through and to be cooler afterwards.


What is an electric tornado and how do they form?

There is no such thing as an electric tornado.


What is a wild fire tornado?

Why tornadoes form in tornado alley?

They form in Tornado Alley for a couple of reasons. One of them is because of the weather. It is humid there. But, tornadoes can also form outside of Tornado Alley. They can form anymore!
