Tornado Season in Iowa: A Look at the Extremes and What to Expect in 2026
In 2024, Iowa saw a record-breaking 125 tornadoes, while 2025 had only 32. AccuWeather forecasts a cooler, less stormy early spring in the northern Plains and Midwest, but expects more tornadoes in late April and May. Historically, Iowas busiest times are April and May, with peaks often occurring in June or July. Experts predict 1,050 to 1,250 tornadoes nationwide in 2026, around the historical average. To stay safe, seek shelter in the lowest spot, avoid windows, and stay alert for alerts between 4 and 9 p.m., when tornadoes are most common.
