Arab Weather - Preliminary data released by US meteorological centers showed that 1,296 tornadoes were recorded across the United States by the end of June 2025. This number far exceeds the historical average for the same period, which amounted to 958 tornadoes. This indicates an unusually active tornado season and raises concerns about more violent developments in the coming months.

The hurricanes included a large number of powerful and destructive categories, some of which were classified as among the strongest hurricanes on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale. These weather phenomena caused widespread destruction in some agricultural and urban areas, along with varying material and human losses.

This high cyclonic activity is attributed to several intertwined atmospheric and climatic factors, most notably disturbances in the upper jet streams and the presence of warm, humid air masses coming from the Gulf of Mexico, which converged with cold fronts from the north of the continent, leading to increased atmospheric instability and the formation of supercells capable of generating destructive tornadoes.

The distribution maps showed that some states, such as Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and Alabama, were among the most affected areas in terms of the number and frequency of tornadoes. These areas fall within what is known as "Tornado Alley," which extends across the Central Plains and is considered one of the most active areas in the world in terms of the number of tornadoes annually.
