Climate change affects tornado activity

A new U.S. study suggests climate changes during the autumn and winter may affect the number of tornadoes during the spring.

According to University of Georgia researches, global warming will likely mean more unpredictable weather conditions.

According to Associate Professor Marshall Shepherd, a meteorologist and lead author of the study, “Results suggest that there is a statistically significant reduction in tornado activity during a tornado season following a drought the proceeding fall and winter. On the other hand, wet autumns and winters examined in the study had nearly twice as many spring tornado days as drought years.”

While their study was specific to Georgia and the Southeastern United States, further research could reveal patterns that might make findings more general.

How will it affect the number of tornadoes this coming spring? Does the study specify whether the numbers will increase or decrease? I recommend checking out home safety blogs and stocking up on medications for emergency kits to every one who wish to be prepared.
