List of Canadian tornadoes in 2026

The 2026 Canadian tornado season is the ongoing season of tornadoes and tornado outbreaks across Canada in 2026.

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.

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. In late 2025, an AI tool was introduced to help identify tornadoes that touch down in the remote forests of Canada. 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).
