Hurricanes (summer, fall) once a year
Blizzards (winter) all the time during winter in coast and mountain plateaus
Floods (spring) low land areas and big rivers around every other year or so
Avalanches (can happen all year except summer - but mostly in the spring) surprisingly rare
Rock slides (most common)
Forest fires (summer) pretty common, especially in birch and pine forest, not so much in evergreen forest

Everything else - Tsunamis, Earthquakes, Tornadoes: never. Earthquakes are so mild and rare that you don't feel them (we had 1 in 100 years, measured 4.8), Tsunamis are almost exclusively in tropical areas, and Tornadoes need very low land and also a difference in water/air temperature that you don't get in the climate.

Also, the only volcano in Scandinavia is on Jan Mayen, a Norwegian island far from civilization, and it's dormant. But this is one area I think they can take artistic freedom with, since volcanos make good set pieces and they're common on Iceland (though not Scandinavia, it's pretty much the offspring of isolated Norse culture) and also some in Russia very close to Norway and Sweden.

But if we don't have seasons there is little point to all but blizzards and avalanches.

I hope, HOPE there are real seasons, because Scandinavia's seasons are amazing. Fall is bright orange everywhere, winters can be very cold in the inland and mild on the coast, spring is like summer and winter at once, and summer is just as hot if not hotter than central Europe.

Also, the sun never comes up in the winter and never sets in the summer.

That's right! Vampirism can be problematic when you have to stay inside for 6 months! LOL

As theoretically cool as they would be in a fantasy setting, no, ignoring obvious game/immersion breaking tornados and volcanoes, how exactly could they pull off good simulations of natural disasters without distructable envioronments, and even if the environments was destructable I would totally get PO'ed if a random tornado destroyed a bunch an area I liked.

I'm about 99% sure that hurricanes can not form in Scandinavia.

What could possibly add to gameplay a Tornado?

These disasters tend to have a very big impact, and Skyrim won't be so dynamic that we would see towns destroyed by random earthquakes.

They just won't work, unless its part of a quest or something...

Indeed, Bethesda probably won't dov things like this, except as quest events, as these are events that would typically have a major impact on the gameworld, and I doubt Skyrim will be able to simulate that, and even if it could, I wouldn't want it to, because I wouldn't want to potentially see towns entirely destroyed, breaking any quests that might involve them, due to events in no way connected to the story.

I could see blizzards being in the game, maybe, as that would probably be reletively easy to do, if your game can already do snow, but everything else, I doubt it.

a little off topic, I would also want to see Aurora Borealis (the northern lights) and realistic-looking retracted light after rainstorms (rainbows).

Where I live there has been 3 hurricanes in my lifetime. Northern coastal Norway. And every year not counting those 3 there has been a major storm bordering on hurricane strength.

The warm stream from the Gulf of Mexico actually stretches into the fjord where I live. So yeah. In the winter, the water temperature is still warm and never freezes.

The problem is Skyrim's location. How often does a Hurricane form in the Arctic Ocean and smash into Russia or Canada?
