Additionally, six tornadoes within the span of two months isn’t “anything unusual,” despite seeming like an especially dense cluster of activity. “(Weather patterns) this year have just not been conducive to tornadic storms as much in the eastern part of the country,” Still said. However, Stills added that climate change is causing weather patterns to be stuck in different parts of Canada, causing repeated meteorological events for extended periods of time. The Prairies have also generally seen fewer tornadoes over the past 40 years while Ontario and Quebec have experienced more. Researchers caution that it will take years to determine whether tornadoes are becoming more common in Quebec.
