List of New York tornadoes

Tornadoes in the U.S. state of New York are relatively rare, with roughly 10 tornadoes touching down every year since 1900, the year with the first ever recorded event in the state.

[1] New York is located on the East Coast, which brings in cold air from the Atlantic Ocean.

Warm air from the South can mix with this cold air, creating prime conditions for tornadic activity.

This mainly happens in the months of March and April, but can happen in the later months, like November.

Climate change is making tornadoes more common in New York due to the warm and cold air pushing more into the region that the state is located in.
