The U.S. has seen a large increase in the number of billion-dollar severe storms since 1980. There is an 'apparent' rise in the frequency of severe weather reports in Chicago.
predicts future warming of our planet from climate change will spin up more supercells outside the historical "tornado season". That means more supercells forming in February and March by the end of this century. The study also suggests more of these intense storms in April, the first month of spring.
Climate change is not only expanding the country's severe weather season it may also be shifting traditional "tornado alley" eastward into more vulnerable areas. Tornado outbreaks are occurring with more frequency in the Mid-South and Southeast where there is a larger density of mobile homes. There has been an increase in the number of favorable tornado days per decade in these regions which includes the state of Illinois.
Even still, there are some surprising severe weather stats that emerge when looking back through recent years. The list of the top ten days in Illinois with the most tornado reports in a single day includes 23 different dates since there were days that actually tied. For example, both August 10th, 2022, and June 22nd, 2016 had 15 reports of tornadoes. Those dates tied as the second-worst date for the total number of tornado reports. The list spans the years from 1950 to 2020.
