A dust storm, also called a sandstorm, is a meteorological phenomenon common in arid and semi-arid regions. [1] Dust storms arise when a gust front or other strong wind blows loose sand and dirt from a dry surface. Fine particles are transported by saltation and suspension, a process that moves soil from one place and deposits it in another.
During thunderstorm formation, winds move in a direction opposite to the storm's travel, and they move from all directions into the thunderstorm. When the storm collapses and begins to release precipitation, wind directions reverse, gusting outward from the storm and generally gusting the strongest in the direction of the storm's travel.
Clouds and new thunderstorms also develop along the outflow's leading edge. This makes it possible to locate the outflow boundary when using precipitation mode on a weather radar. Also, it makes outflow boundaries findable within visible satellite imagery as a thin line of cumuliform clouds which is known as an arcus, or arc, cloud. The image ...

To clear the Owala versus Stanley debate, we tested and reviewed the Owala FreeSip and Tumbler against the Stanley Adventure H.20 Flowstate Quencher.
A FitzRoy storm glass. The storm glass or chemical weather glass was an instrument claimed to help predict weather. It consists of a special liquid placed inside a sealed transparent glass.
China dust soars in the arid regions of mainland China and rides on the wind to descend to regions such as Japan. [1]Asian Dust (also yellow dust, yellow sand, yellow wind, kosa or China dust storms) is a meteorological phenomenon that affects much of East Asia year-round and especially during the spring months.
