List of Japan tornadoes

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

Since 2020, there have been # tornadoes recorded in Japan, resulting in no fatalities but # injuries.

Data about tornadoes in Japan is collected by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), who use a modified version of the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF-Scale) known as the Japanese Enhanced Fujita Scale (sometimes abbreviation JEF-Scale).[1] Waterspouts are somewhat common off the coast of Japan, some of which may come ashore and become weak tornadoes. However, under the right atmospheric conditions, supercell thunderstorms can form and produce stronger tornadoes in the country.[2][lower-alpha 1]

2020

In 2020, 11 tornadoes were confirmed across Japan. No injuries or fatalities occurred as a result of any tornado that year. In July, a nearly stagnant baiu front brought record-breaking amounts of precipitation to Southern and Central Japan. The warm, moist air brought by this system created a highly unstable atmosphere, allowing the formation of cumulonimbus clouds that spawned four tornadoes throughout the month.[3]
