This page documents all tornadoes confirmed by Environment Canada and the University of Western Ontario's Northern Tornadoes Project (NTP) in Canada throughout 2025.

Background

Canada is one of the most tornado-prone countries on the planet, averaging 60 per year. While most of these are typically brief and weak, some can be violent and very destructive. Tornadoes in Canada most often occur in the Prairies, southern Ontario, and southern Quebec, where the typical tornado season occurs in the summer months.[1]

Data on Canadian tornadoes, in addition to other weather phenomena such as downbursts, is collected by the Northern Tornadoes Project (NTP). The number of recorded tornadoes in Canada has increased significantly in recent years due to their work.[2] In late 2025, an AI tool was introduced to help identify tornadoes that touch down in the remote forests of Canada.[3] The NTP surveys and rates tornadoes and other wind events that occur in Canada; they are rated using a modified version of the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF-Scale) known as the Canadian Enhanced Fujita Scale (sometimes abbreviation CEF-Scale).[2][4][a]

Season summary

The 2025 Canadian tornado season began with a weak landspout tornado in mid-April; only weak tornadoes touched down from then to mid-June. From June 19—22, a destructive storm system swept across the Northern United States and parts of Canada. The system produced 12 tornadoes across Saskatchewan, including two EF2-rated tornadoes. On July 12, three EF2 tornadoes caused significant forest damage in northwestern Ontario. Severe storms struck Saskatchewan and Alberta on August 20, producing several strong downbursts and one weak tornado.

  1. ^ All tornado ratings given by the NTP use the Canadian EF-Scale, even if it is shown as "EF" rather than "CEF".
  2. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s The NTP rating for a torndao that does no known damage is EF0-default, which is equivalent to EFU on the American EF Scale.
  3. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z aa ab ac ad ae af ag ah ai aj ak al am an All dates are based on the local time zone where the tornado touched down; however, all times are in Coordinated Universal Time for consistency.
