This Spring Is Forecast To Be The Most Active Tornado Season Florida Has Seen In Years
Tornadoes in Florida can happen at any given moment—and while these natural disasters do provide a little bit of leeway in terms of alerting residents to the dangers, it’s always best practice to be prepared. Storm seasons in Florida are being predicted this year as some of the most active in recent years, and this is likely due to the warm, balmy temperatures we saw in March, as well as the fact that the Gulf was up to 4 degrees warmer than normal. Take a look at what to expect from this upcoming tornado season in Florida and how you can prepare.
With water temperatures running much higher than average, the prospects of severe thunderstorms this spring, including tornadoes, are more likely in Florida.
The last time the Gulf of Mexico was running this warm was in 2017, which similarly coincided with an extremely active tornado season all spring, then an active hurricane season at the end of summer.
While severe storms ripped across the south just this past week, severe weather season is really about to take shape, especially within the Deep South region.
Tornado season in Florida usually takes place from June to September, but with severe weather already sprouting up in the south, meteorologists are encouraging residents to stay informed and also stay prepared.
It is recommended that now is the time to re-up on supplies if possible, including batteries for flashlights, extra canned food and water, and well as having a plan in place in case a tornado hits.
