List of United States tornadoes in August 2025

This page documents all tornadoes confirmed by various weather forecast offices of the National Weather Service in the United States in August 2025. Tornado counts are considered preliminary until final publication in the database of the National Centers for Environmental Information.[1] On average, there are 81 confirmed tornadoes in August.[2]

Similar to July, the northern states nearer the Canadian border are most favored for tornadoes in August, including the Upper Midwest, the Great Lakes, and the Northeastern states, due to the positioning of the summertime jet stream. In addition, there can also be occasional increases in the southern and eastern United States as a result of tornadoes from landfalling tropical cyclones should such occur.[3]
