Hello there! I hope you are all doing very well. This video will be a different one than usual. I understand that this video will likely be a controversial one, depending on how far it reaches, however please keep all comments and conversations with others down below kind, understanding, and civil. All comments will be seen. This is NOT a political video and this discussion will only really cover the effects climate change has on tornadoes and severe thunderstorms and the timing and locations of their occurrence. I would like to bring attention to some points and help others understand more about severe weather. Just a heads up, this will be a research, nerd, and science heavy video. Also note that though most points in this video apply to the whole planet, this video will mainly focus on the United States’ climatology, as that is where most of my knowledge in meteorology lies. Further analysis of other regions may come later. Enjoy!
****Though I stated that most tornadoes are weak, you still must take every tornado warning seriously!****

Incredibly done. Very detailed and extremely informative content. Great job!! 💯
Another great video!
Awesome Video, learned a lot in this very informative video. Great job!
2017 could've been disasterous/destructive year for Dixie Alley and Carolina Alley as far as severe weather and tornadoes if it wasn't for the rainy and cooler conditions on April 5th 2017?
bcuz there was a first time ever high risk of severe weather for Georgia and South Carolina on that day from the SPC /NWS and on that day they were predicting that the severe weather was gonna to be very very extremely bad like super outbreak bad
but like I've said nothing really happened on that day due to the rainy and cooler conditions
but I believe that there's a matter of time before there be another April 5 2017 for the same areas
but unlike the last time things pans out as predicted ☀️☀️☀️🌤️🌤️🌤️⛅⛅⛅🌥️🌥️☁️☁️☁️🌩️🌩️🌩️⛈️⛈️⛈️⚡🌧️⚡🌧️⚡🌧️🌪️🌪️🌪️
If phenomenon in the atmosphere are regarded as one single system, the nature, weather is defined as regional condition of the nature in short time scale, hours, days, weeks, while climate is average of condition of the whole system in long time scale, months, seasons, years, etc.. The point is weather and climate are looking at the same, but different view points. If the system is altered, both weather and climate follow the changes. Often weathers may show that they are going different directions, which is due to fluctuation of short term or local observation; long term observation, climate, shows more consistent trends. Tornadoes are one of phenomenon that take place in extreme conditions of the nature, as a system, in which the nature rarely reached decades ago, and the nature is changed into the condition in favor of the tornadoes with man-made global warming, .
to add to the list of recent out of season outbreaks, the ones in november and december 2022, november 4th had two ef4's alone
Please start looking at the correlation between our weather and space weather plus our shifting poles.
There is lots of research on this and the sad part is not enough people are talking about it.
So go eat bugs to fix it …
I've always thought that the Winter Tornadoes countered the spring lull, 2021 and 2022 did not feature a lot of tornadoes in the spring, but there was a lot in the winter. (2022 was a bit different, it countered the extremely inactive 5 months of summer)
Bravo Sweedi 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😘😘
