This page documents all tornadoes confirmed by various weather forecast offices of the National Weather Service in the United States in June 2024. On average, there are 213 confirmed tornadoes during the month.[1] These tornadoes are commonly focused across the Midwest and the central and northern Great Plains, and occasionally the Northeast, all due to their proximity to the late spring/early summer jet stream which continues to retreat farther north. Additionally, activity can sometimes increase in the Florida Peninsula as a result of early-season tropical activity.[2]
