- Note: Some tornadoes have been rated using different scales. They are counted as their closest IF-Scale equivalent on this table.
- Note: Eleven tornadoes have been confirmed but have not been rated yet.
Many different meteorological organizations across Europe document tornado events, often using different tornado intensity scales, including the TORRO (T) scale, the Fujita (F) scale, the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, and the International Fujita (IF) scale.[3] For consistency, this list primarily uses the IF-scale, the preferred scale of the European Severe Storms Laboratory (ESSL) and its database, the European Severe Weather Database (ESWD).[4]
Climatology
Despite their similar areas, Europe sees significantly fewer tornadoes than the United States. Geography plays a major role in this discrepancy, with the unique features in North America making areas like Tornado Alley ideal for severe weather, while many of these conditions are generally less optimal in Europe. However, the under-reporting of weaker tornadoes across the continent also contributes to this.[5][2] This under-reporting primarily stems from a lack of pan-European collaboration in monitoring tornadoes, resulting in less public and institutional awareness of them or their danger or the real threat they pose, despite many occurrences of violent, damaging, and deadly tornadoes across the continent.[6][2]
Tornado activity in Europe typically peaks in the summer months and is lowest during the winter months. More specifically, Central and Northern Europe peak in the summer, the western and central Mediterranean regions peak in autumn, and the eastern Mediterranean region peaks in the winter. Tornadoes over land most often occur in the late afternoon and early evening hours. On the other hand, waterspouts, which sometimes move ashore in coastal areas and become tornadoes, peak in late spring and typically occur earlier in the day.[2]
Season summary
- Note: Unrated tornadoes are counted as IFU on the graphs
January was very active, with 25 tornadoes reported, including five rated IF2. The first half of the month was relatively inactive, while the final week produced 17 tornadoes overall, including three strong IF2 tornadoes in Turkey, France, and Spain. It also featured a long-track tornado, which occurred in Mios, France, and had a path length of 23.3 km. In total, four injuries and one fatality were reported. The fatality occurred when three kitesurfers were caught in a probable waterspout off Tayo Beach in Tel Aviv; one 40-year-old man was lofted approximately 150 meters and fatally injured after being thrown into rocks, while another man sustained minor injuries.[1] February was average overall, but starting on 18 February an extremely unusual three-week period with no tornadoes reported occurred due to persistent ridging across southern Europe and record-breaking warm and dry conditions. These conditions continued into March, which ended as a very inactive month with fewer tornadoes reported than in February. An early-season tornado occurred in Romania and was rated IF1.5.
May was the most active, with 63 reported tornadoes, with 11 IF2 tornadoes reported. The first half of the month was very active in Turkey, with many IF2 tornadoes, an IF2.5 tornado, and an intense IF2 tornado in Ajjasza. The final half of the month was less active than the first, with far more IFU to IF0.5 tornadoes than the first half of the month. A tornado at the start of May occurred in Viranşehir, Turkey, and was rated IF2.5.

| A strong tornado first produced minor vegetation damage, where broken branches and topped pines were observed, before more organized damage began northwest of Mios with snapped limbs and tree damage as the tornado reached nearby residential areas. Moving east-southeast impacted multiple neighborhoods where around three hundred homes sustained damage, including torn sections of roofs, destroyed small structures, overturned walls, broken windows, and widespread debris such as trampolines, sheet metal, and branches embedded into buildings. The most significant damage occurred southeast of Mios, where small buildings were heavily damaged or torn open, large pine trees were snapped near ground level, and forested areas showed significant treefall and localized swaths of severe destruction. The tornado continued with toward the A63, where trees were downed across the roadway before moving into more rural areas where additional properties and forest plots were damaged with trees uprooted, shredded, or snapped. As it progressed farther, the damage became more sporadic and weakened, though occasional pockets of tree damage persisted. The tornado finally dissipated west of Saint-Magne after producing intermittent tree damage across forested areas.[1][24] This tornado was rated EF1 By KERAUNOS.[25] |

| A tornado impacted several rural neighborhoods in the Köşk district, initially causing widespread roof damage as strong winds tore sections of roofing from many homes and broke branches from olive trees across agricultural areas. As it moved through more elevated areas, the damage intensified, with numerous houses having roofs completely blown away, some walls collapsing, and metal roofing structures lifted and thrown into nearby fields, while balcony railings were bent and twisted by the force of the winds. A mosque minaret was also damaged, and additional structural impacts were observed across homes and buildings, with debris scattered throughout the affected areas as the tornado lifted.[1][26][27] |

| A tornado first produced minor damage in wooded areas with broken branches before more defined damage began west of Colleret, where branches were snapped and sheet metal was torn from a stable. Moving east-southeast through urban areas, it caused minor damage including broken branches, snapped conifers, torn roofing sheets, and displaced outdoor furniture before intensifying where it uprooted numerous trees of various sizes and damaged farm buildings while also removing portions of roofing from a house. After crossing a national roadway, the tornado moved into a valley, where a broad swath of hillside and riverside forest was heavily damaged with trees uprooted in multiple directions. Entering Cousolre, it impacted approximately one hundred homes, stripping roofing from dozens of buildings, breaking windows and doors through strong suction effects, toppling a pole, and scattering debris tens of meters. As it continued northeast and crossed into Belgium, the tornado weakened, producing weak damage consisting of broken branches, uprooted small trees, torn sheet metal, and displaced garden structures, before the damage became increasingly sporadic and the tornado dissipated shortly thereafter.[1] This tornado was rated EF1 by KERAUNOS.[33] |
