This page documents notable tornadoes and tornado outbreaks worldwide in 2022. Strong and destructive tornadoes form most frequently in the United States, Argentina, Brazil, Bangladesh, and Eastern India, but 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, Argentina, Australia and New Zealand. Tornadic events are often accompanied by other forms of severe weather, including strong thunderstorms, strong winds, and hail.
The Storm Prediction Center's Maximum Tornado Risk for the United States during 2022
There were 1,331 preliminary filtered reported tornadoes,[3] and 1,175 confirmed tornadoes in the United States in 2022. Worldwide, 32 tornado-related deaths were confirmed: 23 in the United States, three in China, two each in Poland and Russia, and one each in the Netherlands and Ukraine. Despite an extremely active beginning to the season, which included the most active March ever recorded,[4] tornado activity in the United States slowed significantly in the later part of spring and into the summer, bringing the season's total below average.[5] In fact, the summer was the second least active on record since 1964.[6]
