There is NO equivalent of tornado ally in the UK. There distribution is random, but occurs mostly in the flatter parts of the midlands and the south.

Tornado Alley occurs in the US because of the Mountains in the West (which provide cold air) and the plains and ocean to the East (which provides the warm, moist air).

The Uk's tornado's are formed by the temperature differential of moving air mass, not geological formations.

I would expect the south to get more than the north but I don't know for certain. I do know that the UK gets more tornadoes per unit area than any other country in the world.

Probably where it rains the most...........

Thunderstorms are most common in southern and eastern England, and least common in the north and west. As a result of this, inland areas in the south and east tend to have their wettest months in the summer while western, northern and eastern coasts are most likely to have their driest month in the spring and their wettest in late autumn. In London, thunderstorms occur on average 14–19 days a year, while in most of Northern Ireland and the west of Scotland thunderstorms occur on around 3 days a year.
