Q: How does a tornado form?

Arabia Weather - A tornado is a violent air storm consisting of vertical paths of air that rotate strongly and extend from a strong thunderstorm to the surface of the Earth. Because the winds are not visible, we cannot see the tornado unless a condensation funnel is formed, which consists of water droplets, dust, and debris. .

One of the places where tornadoes are most active is southern North America, especially in the spring, as a result of the combination of cold, dry winds coming from the north with warm, humid winds coming from the Gulf of Mexico.

Tornadoes are considered a rare weather phenomenon in Saudi Arabia and the Arabian Peninsula, but they may occur with severe thunderclouds over a limited area and for a short period, as the upward wind movement inside the thundercloud is very violent and rotates in a spiral manner.
