This is a list of notable tornadoes and tornado outbreaks worldwide in 2023. Strong, destructive tornadoes form most frequently in the United States, Argentina, Brazil, Bangladesh and East India, but can occur almost anywhere. Tornadoes develop occasionally in southern Canada during the Northern Hemisphere's summer, and at other times of the year across Europe, Asia, Argentina, Australia and New Zealand. They are often accompanied by other forms of severe weather, including thunderstorms, strong winds, and large hail. Worldwide, 116 tornado-related deaths were confirmed – 83 in the United States, 12 in China, nine in Indonesia, eight in Myanmar, three in Turkey, and one in Saudi Arabia.

January had the third-highest number of tornado watches and confirmed tornadoes of any January on record in the United States.[1] The first two months of the year had the fourth-highest number of confirmed tornadoes for the first 59 days of any year on record.[2] The year was deadlier than average, with a number of fatal tornadoes. By April 5, 63 tornado-related deaths were recorded in the United States; this was almost three times higher than 2022's total of 23 fatalities, approaching the annual average of roughly 70 deaths.[3] Below-average tornadic activity occurred in May, but active weather patterns spawned damaging tornado outbreaks throughout the summer and 12 more people died. Damaging tornadoes also affected parts of Canada during that time, including the country's first violent tornado since 2018. Tornadic activity decreased dramatically in September, and was almost non-existent during much of the autumn. Most Atlantic tropical cyclones missed the United States during the peak of hurricane season, with few early-season frontal systems; an intense outbreak in December produced 18 tornadoes, causing seven fatalities.[4]

Several European organizations, including the European Severe Storms Laboratory and Deutscher Wetterdienst, began publishing and using the new International Fujita scale in August 2023.[5] The first major tornado outbreak using the scale occurred three months later, when Storm Ciarán affected much of Europe.

Europe

January 17 (Italy)

A brief, strong tornado struck Valmontone (a comune in the Metropolitan City of Rome Capital) on January 17, causing significant damage and injuring two people. The tornado was spawned by an embedded "comma head" circulation, and was captured by a surveillance camera. Multiple homes, apartment buildings, and other structures had severe roof damage, and the top floor of one residence was completely destroyed. Trees, gates, and fences were knocked down, and debris was strewn across yards and roads. The European Severe Storms Laboratory rated the tornado F2 on the Fujita scale, with a path length of 2.7 kilometres (1.7 mi) and a maximum width of 150 metres (160 yd).[6] After the tornado, Valmontone declared a state of disaster.[7]

Severe thunderstorms formed in Germany on February 1, producing two tornadoes. The first was a short-lived F1 tornado which tracked for 0.2 km (0.1 mi), damaging the roofs of 14 homes in Hinte.[6][8] The second tornado struck areas near the small villages of Getmold, Lashorst and Hedem along a 5.3 km (3.3 mi)-long path, snapping (or uprooting) large trees and severely damaging the roofs of multiple homes. A car was damaged by a falling tree near Lashorst, a carriage house had its roof torn off, and a carport was damaged at a farmstead. The most significant damage was in a pine forest, where many large trees were completely mowed down or stripped of their limbs and several tree trunks were snapped off and thrown some distance into nearby fields. Based on tree damage, the second tornado was rated F2.[6][9] Over 85 severe-weather reports were documented in Europe that day, 69 in Germany.[6][10]

March 9 (France)

A strong tornado was caught on video from multiple angles as it impacted areas in and around several small towns and villages in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France on March 9, causing extensive damage. The tornado first badly damaged the roof of a school in Masbaraud-Mérignat before it moved to the northeast and struck Pontarion, where multiple homes and other structures had their roofs severely damaged and one house was unroofed. Vehicles were damaged by flying debris, trees and power poles were downed, a large masonry storage building was partially destroyed, and roof tiles and other projectiles were driven into exterior residential insulation. The tornado also caused significant tree damage as it moved through wooded areas outside Pontarion, snapping and uprooting many large trees and damaging (or destroying) multiple outbuildings. Near the end of the path, 17 homes sustained minor damage in the Le Donzeil area before the tornado dissipated; it was rated F2 by the ESSL (European Severe Storms Laboratory) and the French Observatory of Tornadoes and Violent Thunderstorms (Keraunos).[11] Keraunos noted that the environment where the tornado formed was conducive for tornado development, since high instability and shear were present in France that day.[12][13]

On April 10, several tornadoes occurred in the Mediterranean region. The most significant tornado touched down in the Ağaçören District of Aksaray Province in the Central Anatolia Region of Turkey. It tracked through (or near) the villages of Camili, Avşar, Kırımini and Göllü along a 22 km (14 mi) path, with a maximum width of 200 m (220 yd). The tornado, which was rated F2, destroyed the roofs of homes, partially collapsed walls, and killed farm animals. Masonry outbuildings were destroyed, a tractor-trailer was overturned, and trees and power-line pylons were downed as well. The minaret of the Göllü mosque collapsed, injuring a 26-year-old man. An F1 tornado struck areas in and around Budak, where another minaret collapsed, outbuildings were destroyed on dairy farms, and homes had roof damage. A waterspout came ashore near Pizzo in southern Italy, causing no damage.[14]

Two tornadoes caused damage in Turkey on April 20. The first struck the outskirts of Pazarcık, Kahramanmaraş, where roofing was torn from buildings, cars and storage containers were flipped, and trees were downed. The tornado also struck a camp housing survivors of the 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquakes, where tents were torn apart and struck by flying debris. Three people were killed at the camp, and 150 were injured. The tornado was rated F1 on the Fujita scale by the European Severe Storms Laboratory. A second F1 tornado struck the village of Tatlıçayır, Diyarbakır Province, where homes had roof damage, a frail masonry outbuilding was destroyed, trees were downed, and farm animals were injured.[14]

On September 17, three tornadoes impacted France and the United Kingdom. A brief landspout struck Séreilhac in Région Limousin.[19] A tornado struck Mayenne, France, around the same time, damaging (or destroying) structures, trees, and concrete utility poles. The French Observatory of Tornadoes and Violent Thunderstorms (Keraunos) rated the tornado EF2 on the Enhanced Fujita scale, with estimated winds of 175 to 225 kilometres per hour (109 to 140 mph).[20] The European Severe Storms Laboratory rated the tornado IF2 on the International Fujita scale. In the late evening, a waterspout came ashore on West Beach before tracking through the west and north suburbs of Littlehampton and the communities of Wick and Lyminster. This tornado toppled several trees, smashing at least 20 car windows and windows of multiple houses. One person sustained minor leg injuries. On September 18, the Met Office noted that "conditions weren't unfavourable" for a small tornado.[21][22] On September 19, a TORRO site investigator confirmed the event as a tornado. A preliminary analysis suggested that most of the damage warranted a T1 rating, with a peak of T2.[23]

September 19 (Denmark)

A significant tornado struck the community of Grønhøj Strand in Jammerbugt Municipality, picking up a mobile home and throwing it 20 meters. Other mobile homes and caravans were overturned (or moved), and a shed was destroyed. According to the ESSL, the tornado had a track length of 1.22 km, a maximum path width of 140 meters, and a maximum intensity of IF2.[19]

September 21 (Germany)

Severe thunderstorms spawned at least one tornado in western Germany, which affected the towns of Nusbaum and Mülbach. Severe damage to roofs and trees was reported, and the tornado was given a preliminary IF2 rating by the ESSL.[24]

October 28 (United Kingdom)

For the second time in just over a month, another tornado struck the town of Littlehampton. Several trees were snapped, fence panels were destroyed, power lines were brought down, car windows were smashed, and one house had its roof ripped off. A TORRO investigator visited the site on October 29, and confirmed the tornado. It was provisionally rated T4 on the TORRO scale, equivalent to a low-end F2 tornado.[25] The European Severe Weather Database rated the tornado IF2 on the International Fujita scale.[19]

A significant tornado touched down in Jersey, Channel Islands, from the evening of November 1 into the morning of November 2. One house had its roof ripped off and its upper-story walls destroyed.[26][27] The tornado was rated IF3 by the European Severe Storms Laboratory on the International Fujita scale (IF-scale).[28] TORRO released a statement on November 6 rating the tornado T6 on the TORRO scale, equivalent to a low-end F3 tornado.[29] On the morning of November 2, another tornado was confirmed in Sompting and northern Lancing in West Sussex. After surveying the damage and reports from the public, the tornado's track was mapped and TORRO rated it as T2 on the TORRO scale. An IF1 tornado struck parts of Castel Focognano in Italy later that day, damaging roofs and trees. On November 4, an intense tornado struck Lavino in Bulgaria. According to the European Severe Storms Laboratory, at least 150 structures were damaged; one person was slightly injured by the IF3 tornado. A significant tornado struck Xánthi, Greece, about a half-hour later, and a large tree branch fell on a moving bus. With a damage path of at least 1.5 km (between Geor. Kondyli street and EPS stadiums), the tornado was rated IF2.[28] An unrated tornado struck parts of Sratsimir, Bulgaria, an IF1.5 tornado struck parts of Dereköy, Turkey, and an IF1 tornado struck parts of La Pouëze, France.[28]

November 25 (Greece)

An IF2 tornado which significantly damaged greenhouses and trees was observed in Phalasarna.[28]

December 10 (Ireland)

A significant tornado touched down in Leitrim, County Leitrim, Ireland. The tornado, which was filmed from multiple angles, slightly injured two people. The European Severe Storms Laboratory rated the tornado IF2 due to roof damage.[19][30][31]

December 21 (Germany)

A significant tornado passed through the German city of Cologne. Many houses were damaged, especially in the Poll area (which sustained IF2 damage).[32][19]

December 22 (Poland)

A low-topped supercell thunderstorm spawned a tornado in Grochowy, Wielkopolskie, Poland. Several houses had roof damage, and high-voltage power lines were brought down. The European Severe Storms Laboratory rated the tornado IF2 due to the collapsed power-transmission line.[19][33][34]

December 27 (United Kingdom)

A supercell thunderstorm generated by Storm Gerrit struck the town of Stalybridge[35] in Tameside, Greater Manchester.[36] The Met Office reported that the storm had a strong rotating updraft on its Doppler radar, strongly suggesting a tornado.[37] The area impacted by the tornado sustained moderate-to-severe damage. One hundred houses were damaged; windows were smashed, chimney pots toppled and roofs were torn up by high winds, with debris strewn across roads. A TORRO site investigator surveyed the area and confirmed the tornado, rating it T5 (high-end F2) on the TORRO scale.[38] The European Severe Storms Laboratory rated the tornado IF2.[19]
