Philippines

Main article: List of tornadoes in the Philippines

The Philippines experiences on average of around 8 tornadoes annually that range between EF0 and EF2 intensities in the Enhanced fujita scale (EF Scale), some are rated as EFU due to insufficient data. As of 2024, the highest tornadic activity ever recorded was in 2022 with a total of 37 reported tornadoes. Most of these tornadoes form during the wet season, usually on severe thunderstorms or accompanied by typhoons.

Some of these tornadoes go unreported due to them being too weak to cause casualties or they touch down in rural areas with little to no population. There are multiple known tornado incidents that happened in the country. The most notable tornado is the Manila tornado, when on 6 August 2016, a rare EF1 tornado swept through the capital city of Manila. It stayed on the ground for approximately 15 minutes before dissipating. It damaged more than 100 buildings and 2 people were injured as it moves through the city. Another notable example is an extremely rare EF2 tornado in Arayat, Pampanga that formed during Typhoon Ewiniar (2024). This tornado reached estimated wind speeds of up to 125 mph (201 kmh), damaging at least 30 homes and 2 school buildings. Fortunately, no one was reported injured from the tornado.
