It's important to recognize that although it's uncommon, there have been several cases of recent November tornadoes including: - 4 in 24' (1 BC, 3 NB) - 3 in 22' (QC) - 2 in 21' (1 BC, 1 ON) - 1 in 20' (ON) - 3 in 15' (QC) - 1 in 13' (ON) - 4 from 1980 to 2010

Another unexpected statistic is that with the five 2024 November tornadoes, Canada now has more November tornadoes compared to October tornadoes in the 2020s: 24': 5 vs 0 23': 0 vs 0 22': 3 vs 1 21': 2 vs 4 20': 1 vs 1 11 November tornadoes against 6 October tornadoes
