Tornadoes of 2026

This page documents notable tornadoes and tornado outbreaks worldwide in 2026. Strong and destructive tornadoes most frequently form in the United States, China, the La Plata Basin, 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, 15 tornado-related deaths have been confirmed – 12 in the United States, two in India, and one in Israel.
