argentina experiences frequent tornadoes each year. tornadoes occur in the south american "tornado alley" ("spanish: pasillo de los tornados"), which includes the provinces of entre ríos, córdoba province, santa fe, la pampa and greater buenos aires. the frequency of tornadoes is similar to the one found in tornado alley in north america. however, there is no exact number of tornado occurrences per year, owing to the lack of data. these regions have the most frequent and intense mesoscale convective systems. tornadoes occur between november and april. in this region, which occupies most of the pampas, cold air from patagonia meets warm, humid air from brazil with dry air coming from the andes. when these air masses collide, they can produce intense storms, frequently becoming supercells that can produce tornadoes. with a larger number of convective storms, there is a higher chance that some of these storms will produce tornadoes. most tornadoes are relatively weak and rarely cause deaths. the strongest tornado recorded in argentina occurred in 1973 when a tornado struck san justo, santa fe. the tornado was an f5 on the fujita scale, with winds up to , making it the worst tornado in latin america and the caribbean.
