When is tornado season?
Tornado season refers to the time of the year when the US sees the most tornadoes.
According to the National Severe Storms Laboratory, tornado season hits around early spring near the Gulf Coast.
For the southern plains – Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas – tornado season peaks around May and June.
In the northern Plains and upper Midwest – including North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, and their surrounding areas – tornado season falls around June and July.
Tornadoes can occur at any time of the year, however.
