is it possible to have a tornado in the philippines?

Question

who knows...

Atmospheric changes due to global warming has brought surprising occurrences in the last 3 years. Last year, tornado clouds formed in cities formerly known not to be hit by tornadoes. Japan had it's strongest typhoon ever, San Francisco a moderately tempered city got snow in February last year. Obviously these changes is affecting the whole world as reported with stronger hurricanes in the Atlantic, typhoons in the Pacific and cyclones in the Indian Ocean.

In a country like the Philippines that has enough precipitation, and relative humidity as the mid-western cities of America. Isn't it likely that tornadoes could hit?

Above is a map as to where tornadoes are most likely to hit.

Answer 1

Yes.

Tornadoes commonly form in typhoons and hurricanes. As a former weather forecaster who used to forecast typhoon weather for that area I can say it is possible and does happen.

However, they are different from the types of tornadoes you would find in the midwest of the United States which are normally the result of severe weather due to dryline thunderstorms.

Answer 2

Those Storm happen in Pacific is call Typhoon. Tornado is those from Atlantic ocean.

Answer 3

Ipo-ipo, not hipo-hipo (kapampangan kba?), is just a small whirl of air. Tornado never happens in tropical places like ours, it is usually accompanied by rain and is called typhoon. I think tornados only happen in the valleys of America? We are a very mountainous place, or at least we were, before industrialization.

Answer 4

Due to global warming, Tornado can happen here in the Philippines, Snow also can happen here

Answer 5

i do not think so bc The Philipinnes is a small place were a tornado can't start but it can happen.
