Parts of central and southern Alberta didn't see as much tornado activity over the summer compared to past seasons due to the smoky aftermath of this year's wildfires, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada.
Most of this year's tornado season, Hasell said, focused on areas in southern and central Alberta, primarily in the Foothills region near Calgary. Storms also made landfall earlier in the season.Hasell said the smoke from this year's wildfires might have played a role in how many thunderstorms Alberta saw.
Alberta's average for confirmed severe tornadoes is between eight to 10, lower than what the province saw this year. But Hasell said the average doesn't make the distinction between supercell tornadoes, severe storm tornadoes and non-severe landspouts. There were also 41 severe wind events reported in Alberta, while Manitoba recorded 24 and Saskatchewan confirmed 13, which Hasell said is lower than in previous years.
