[33] [34] Some researchers attribute increases in extreme weather occurrences to more reliable reporting systems. [32] A difference in what qualifies as 'extreme weather' in varying climate systems could also be argued.
The 2011 Super Outbreak was the largest tornado outbreak spawned by a single weather system in recorded history; it produced 367 tornadoes from April 25–28, with 223 of those in a single 24-hour period on April 27 from midnight to midnight CDT, [4] [11] fifteen of which were violent EF4–EF5 tornadoes. 348 deaths occurred in that outbreak, of which 324 were tornado related.
A study published last month in the academic journal Earth’s Future modeled the effects of warming on the creation of “convective environments” that can lead to tornadoes. The researchers ...

One study published in June in the journal Weather and Climate Extremes does make a connection between a warming planet and an increase in tropical cyclone-spurred tornadoes in research conducted ...
For example, the tornado frequency of Southwestern Ontario is about half that of the most tornado-prone areas of the central US plains. The last multiple tornado-related deaths in Canada were caused by a tornado in Ear Falls, Ontario on 9 July 2009, where 3 died, and the last killer tornado was on 21 June 2021 in Mascouche, Quebec.
