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, Bangladesh, and Eastern India, 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 with other forms of severe weather including strong thunderstorms, winds and hail.

Worldwide, at least 37 tornado-related deaths have been confirmed – 34 in the United States and three in Spain.[1]

It is believed that 2025's fading La Niña will influence tornado patterns[2] as it transitioned to ENSO neutral status in April.[3]

The Tehama County, California EFU tornado on January 3, 2025.

From January 3 to January 7, a major winter storm passed over the contiguous United States. The storm system made landfall on January 3 over the West Coast of the United States,[6] where it produced the first tornado of the year, a brief EFU tornado in rural Tehama County, California, which caused no damage.[7][8] On January 4, a low pressure system organized over the Texas Panhandle and Oklahoma. Interacting with the pre-established cold temperatures, the system's warm front was predicted to generate severe thunderstorms across Southern United States the following day, prompting the Storm Prediction Center to issue an enhanced risk for the region. The outlook included a 10% risk area for tornadoes, along with the potential for large hail and damaging winds.[9][10]

High-end EF2 damage to a well-constructed shop building east of Marion, Louisiana.

On January 5, a small tornado outbreak occurred as a squall line of severe thunderstorms passed through the region,[11][12] producing multiple tornadoes in Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama, a couple of which were strong. A high-end EF2 tornado touched down near Marion, Louisiana, completely destroying a mobile home and a well-built shop building, damaging the roofs of multiple houses, and snapping many large trees. In Mississippi, a low-end EF2 tornado snapped or uprooted numerous trees and downed power poles as it passed to the north of Brooksville. High-end EF1 tornadoes caused moderate tree and structure damage in the rural Mississippi communities of Boon and Gwinville as well. An EF1 tornado near Pelahatchie prompted a PDS warning,[13] damaged chicken houses, downed trees and power lines, and caused an indirect injury when a train ran into a downed tree that had fallen onto railroad tracks.[14] A total of 14 tornadoes were confirmed, resulting in one indirect injury and no fatalities.[15]

January 6 (Saudi Arabia)

As a red alert for severe weather was issued by the National Centre of Meteorology over the region around Mecca on January 6, a tornado was reported to have struck Rabigh, which was reported by Gulf News to be the strongest ever recorded in the coastal region of Saudi Arabia.

In Mississippi, a high-end EF0 tornado moved through the east side of Columbia, heavily damaging a hardware store, destroying a few sheds, and damaging the roofs of homes in town. A supercell in Wayne County produced a powerful multiple-vortex EF3 tornado that touched down in a rural area to the east of Laurel before it tracked to the northeast near Whistler and dissipated near Matherville, prompting a PDS tornado warning.[32][33] The tornado inflicted major structural damage to a few frame homes, and several mobile homes were completely swept away and obliterated, with their metal frames and debris strewn hundreds of yards across fields. Wooded areas suffered total deforestation, including large trees that were snapped, stripped of their branches, and sustained partial debarking. Some ground scouring also occurred, while a pickup truck, pieces of farming equipment, and RVs were thrown and destroyed as well.[32] In Alabama, A low-end EF2 tornado passed near Tattlersville, prompting another PDS tornado warning to be issued.[34][32] The tornado snapped or uprooted many trees in remote wooded areas and destroyed a poorly-constructed house.

In early March, a storm system with intense wind shear brought strong winds and warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico to the southern Great Plains and the Deep South, creating a severe weather setup with the chance for severe thunderstorms and a few strong tornadoes. On March 4, the Storm Prediction Center issued an enhanced risk, including a 10% risk of tornadoes.[46][47] Numerous weak tornadoes touched down later that afternoon and evening across Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana, including an EF1 tornado that struck Ada, Oklahoma, destroying an old brick building, causing considerable damage to several apartment buildings, businesses, and a school, and injuring one person.[48][49][50] In Texas, a high-end EF1 tornado impacted Irving, where apartment buildings and the Irving Police Academy Family Advocacy building had partial roof loss.

A destructive and deadly tornado outbreak occurred across mainly portions of the Midwestern and Southeastern United States between March 13–16. On March 13, a trough moved through the West Coast,[51] spawning a high-end EF0 tornado in the Los Angeles area.[52] The Storm Prediction Center issued a moderate risk for severe weather for parts of the Midwest and Southeast on March 14 as the trough moved west over the Rockies.[53] The Day 2 outlook was upgraded to a tornado-driven high risk area for portions of Mississippi and Alabama, making it the third ever issuance of a Day 2 high risk, with the previous two being for April 7, 2006 and April 14, 2012.[54]

On March 14, a moderate risk for severe weather was issued for the much of Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri, with a 15 percent risk for significant tornadoes centered around Southern Illinois and Southeastern Missouri.[53] In the early evening, a PDS tornado watch was issued for portions of Southeast Missouri, Northeast Arkansas, Northern Mississippi, and more.[55] Among the tornadoes that touched down that day were a long-track, high-end EF3 tornado that tracked through southern Missouri and prompted the issuance of a tornado emergency for Fremont and Van Buren,[56][57] an EF2 tornado that moved into the Greater St. Louis area, notably crossing a St. Louis Lambert International Airport runway while a plane was taking off,[58][59] a high-end EF4 tornado that caused catastrophic damage to rural neighborhood northwest of Diaz, Arkansas,[60] a very long-track, low-end EF4 tornado that struck near Fifty-Six and Franklin, Arkansas,[60] an EF3 tornado that killed three people in Bakersfield, Missouri,[61] a long-track, high-end EF3 tornado that went through Cushman and Cave City, Arkansas, killing three,[60] and a low-end EF3 tornado that killed one person after ripping through a trailer park near Poplar Bluff, Missouri,[56][62][63] Overall, 10 people in Missouri and three more in Arkansas were killed by tornadoes on the 14th.[64][65]

On March 15, the high risk area continued into the Day 1 Outlook, including a 30 percent risk for significant tornadoes in central Mississippi and Alabama.[66] In the late morning, a PDS tornado watch was issued for parts of Louisiana and nearly all of Mississippi[67] and later much of Alabama[68] as a tornado outbreak featuring "significant tornadoes, some of which should be long-track and potentially violent," was expected throughout the afternoon and evening.[69] In the early afternoon, a tornado emergency was issued for parts of Walthall, Lawrence, Marion, and Jefferson Davis counties in Mississippi[70][71] as a large, violent, long-track EF4 tornado was moving through the area; at least five people were killed and at least three others were injured by this tornado.[72] An EF2 tornado would intersect its path just 41 minutes later. Another deadly EF3 tornado also tracked just east of the path of the long-track EF4 tornado, touching down while the latter was still on the ground.[72] Tornadoes continued in Mississippi and Alabama throughout the afternoon and evening, including an EF2 tornado that struck Winterboro, Alabama, damaging a high school and killing one person, and an EF3 that killed two people near Plantersville, Alabama.[73] Overall, seven people were killed in Mississippi and three more were killed in Alabama from tornadoes on the 15th.[74][75]
