There is some evidence that tornado frequency might be increasing but it is difficult to determine as with more advanced technology and greater knowledge of tornadoes we are now finding tornadoes that we would have previously missed.

Why are tornadoes and cyclones increasing in recent years?

There is no real evidence that the number of cyclones or tornadoes is increasing outside of normal fluctuation. The apparent number has increased as advanced technology has made us better able to detect and identify storms, and fast communications means we hear about more events sooner.

Have scientists essentially ruled out global climate change as a cause of increased tornado frequency in the US?

No, they have not, but neither have they claimed that it is. There may be increased frequency of tornadoes but these may be a natural spike. Weather changes from year to year, some years colder and wetter than the the year before. This proves nothing about climate change, which takes more than several years to become clear.Overall, though, the number of tornadoes in the U.S. is not increasing in the long term. The apparent increase is mostly due to our improved ability to record and detect weak tornadoes. An analysis of tornado statistics shows that the average annual number of strong tornadoes in the U.S. has actually decreased in the past 50 years.
