Main article: List of Vietnam tornadoes

The country of Vietnam experiences multiple tornadoes annually. Between 1993 and 2000, there are a total number of 317 tornado occurrences in the country. Most of these tornadoes bring F1 intensities in the Fujita scale (F scale), but a very few documented tornadoes are able to reach F3 intensities.[141] They typically form during severe thunderstorms or typhoons. To date, studies that involve the country's tornado climatology are limited.

The first known tornado recorded in the country was on 10 June 1961 in Gia Lương district, Bắc Ninh wherein a tornado lifted a buffalo shed and a bufallo was carried tens of meters away.[141] The deadliest tornado recorded was during Typhoon Bualoi in which multiple tornadoes were reported in the cities and districts of Huế, Ninh Bình, Hưng Yên, Hải Phòng, Quảng Ninh, and Hanoi, resulting in 11 people killed and 45 others injured.[142][143][144][145][146]
