Tornado Season Continues in Midwest, Beyond Its Typical Timeframe

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that tornado season in the Midwest is extending beyond its typical timeframe. Despite expectations for a seasonal decline, forecasts from the Weather Channel predict continued severe tornado activity in the coming days. McIntyre notes that the public and businesses may be unprepared, having assumed the risk had passed. This pattern reflects a broader shift in climate norms, where traditional weather seasons—like tornado and hurricane seasons—are starting earlier, ending later, or behaving unpredictably.
