This page documents all tornadoes confirmed by the European Severe Storms Laboratory or various governments or universities across Europe & Mediterranean basin during 2025. Unlike the United States, the original Fujita Scale, the TORRO scale, and the International Fujita Scale are primarily used to rank tornadoes across the continent. This article primarily uses the International Fujita (IF) scale as it is the preferred ranking system of the ESSL.
