In all likelihood they are not. The main factor in this is improved detection. We are now recording many of the F0 and F1 tornadoes that would have been missed 50 years ago. Additionally, the more active years tend to be more memorable while we tend to forget the quiter ones.
Tornado frequency is influenced by various factors, including regional climate patterns and changes in temperature and humidity. Climate change may also play a role, although the relationship between tornado activity and climate change is complex and not fully understood. More research is needed to determine the extent to which climate change is impacting tornado frequency.

Do tornadoes occur more often in the US Thailand or France?
The U.S. gets more tornadoes than any other country.
How many tornadoes are there every day?
The number of tornadoes that occur in a day varies greatly. This is largely because many tornadoes occur in outbreaks, events where a weather system produces multiple tornadoes over the course of a few hours to a few days. During a major outbreak it is possible for there to be several dozen tornadoes in a single day. On days between outbreaks there may be a handful of isolated tornadoes or none at all. Overall tornado activity also varies seasonally, with tornadoes occurring more often in the warmer months.
When do tornadoes least often occur?
Tornadoes do not happen as frequently during winter or fall, with the lowest activity (at least in the U.S.) occurring in January and December. They mostly occur during the spring and summertime of April, May, and June.
What does more common mean?
occurring, found, or done often
What are all the tornadoes?
It would be impossible to list all tornadoes. Since official record keeping began in 1950 there have been over 56,000 tornadoes in the United States alone with thousands more occurring in other countries or going undocumented.
Where can you see where tornadoes are occurring?
Wikianswers cannot give real-time information on where tornadoes are. Most tornadoes last no more than a few minutes, so even if there were a tornado occurring as these words are typed it will probably have dissipated before anyone reads them. The chances that there is a tornado occurring somewhere at any given moment are rather small. For real-time information on weather events in the United States go to the website of the National Weather Service.
What are tornadoes sometimes called?
They are called funnel clouds or, more often, twisters.
When did tornadoes first happen in WA?
It is impossible to say; tornadoes have been occurring there since before anyone was around to record them. It is likely they have been occurring there since the land that would become Washington first formed.
Do tornadoes occur mostly at night or day?
Tornadoes are more common during the day, but they happen at night fairly often as well. About 58% of tornadoes occur during the day.
