Tornados in the UK

I was surprised to hear that a tornado hit London earlier this week. Does it happen often in the UK?

Hello there!

Tornadoes do appear in the UK and at some regularity that may surprise you, we get on average around 30 reported tornadoes in a year in the UK, however there may be more that go unreported because of occurring in unpopulated areas. 

It may also be a surprise to find that the UK has more Tornadoes per acre of land compared to the USA, this is also because the USA is huge in comparison.

I have dug out some websites for you to look at:

Torro is the The TORnado and storm Research Organisation and is based in the UK

A Daily Mail article on Tornadoes

Hope this helps with your answer,

Dominic
