I've had fun recently playing around with the SPC's full tornado database (you can find the 6MB csv file near the bottom of this page). I really like the "tornado trends" graph that they put out, and I started wondering what the worst conceivable tornado season might look like. Starting with 1990 (I'll call this more-or-less the "modern" era or tornado counts), I strung together the worst months into a single trend. I figured monthly mins provided in nice synoptic average (versus, say, taking the DAILY min).
Can you even imagine what this forum would be like after a 400 count tornado season?!?! We'd all go insane. Here are years that contributed to each month's minimum count:
Jan: 2003 - 0 Tors
Feb: 2010 - 1 Tor
Mar: 2013 - 18 Tors
Apr: 1992 - 53 Tors
May: 2012 - 121 Tors
Jun: 2002 - 97 Tors
Jul: 2012 - 37 Tors
Aug: 2012 - 38 Tors
Sep: 2009 - 8 Tors
Oct: 1999 - 17 Tors
Nov: 2009 - 3 Tors
Dec: 2003 - 1 Tor
