The 2025 tornado season is the ongoing season of tornadoes and tornado outbreaks worldwide in the year 2025. Strong and destructive tornadoes form most frequently in the United States, China, the Pampas, the European Plain, South Africa, and Bengal, but they can occur almost anywhere under the right conditions. Tornadoes also develop occasionally in southern Canada during the Northern Hemisphere's summer and somewhat regularly at other times of the year across Europe, Asia, and Australia. Tornadic events are often accompanied by other forms of severe weather, including strong thunderstorms, winds, and hail. Worldwide, at least 100 tornado-related deaths have been confirmed – 67 in the United States, 12 in Vietnam, seven in Brazil, four each in China and Spain, two in the Philippines, and one each in France, Japan, Portugal, and Turkey. 2025 featured the first EF5 tornado since the 2013 Moore tornado, which occurred near Enderlin, North Dakota on June 20. It also featured the most violent tornadoes in a year since 2013, with eight tornadoes worldwide receiving a rating of (E)F4 or higher. Six of these tornadoes occurred in the United States, and two in Brazil. 2025 also had the least active late season since 2012, with only 123 tornadoes occurring from August to November, compared to 1,063 tornadoes from March to June.
