Tornado climatology

Tornado climatology is the study of the patterns and frequency of tornado occurrences in different regions over time. Tornadoes are most common in the United States, especially in an area known as "Tornado Alley," which includes parts of Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. Factors such as atmospheric conditions, geography, and seasonal weather patterns influence where and when tornadoes are likely to form. Understanding these patterns helps meteorologists predict tornado risks and improve public safety measures, allowing communities to prepare for severe weather more effectively.
