March Tornadoes Surge to Near-Record Levels Amid Rising Temperatures

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that March saw nearly 175 tornadoes, placing it among the top five months on record since 1950. The rise is linked to climate change, with warmer Gulf and Atlantic waters fueling storms. Improved detection methods have also led to higher tornado counts. With two months remaining in tornado season, experts anticipate more extreme weather events in the near future.
