@madalina_fouche: Phoenix is officially two weeks into Haboob season. If you’re not a native Phoenician and/or don’t know what a Haboob is, below are 10 fun facts about this natural phenomenon! ⬇️ 🌵 Haboobs are intense dust storms that commonly occur in Arizona due to its arid climate and desert landscapes. 🌬️ The word “haboob” comes from the Arabic word “habb,” meaning “wind.” 🌇 Arizona’s haboobs are known for their massive size and dramatic appearance. They can tower over 1,000 feet tall and span across several miles. ⛈️ Haboobs are usually triggered by strong thunderstorm outflows, which push gusty winds and dust ahead of them. 🚨 The dust particles in haboobs can reduce visibility to near zero, creating dangerous driving conditions. 👃 Haboobs often bring a sudden drop in temperature and a distinct smell of desert earth, which many Arizonans find unique and refreshing. 📅 These dust storms are a regular occurrence during Arizona’s monsoon season, which typically runs from June to September. 🧼 Haboobs can deposit layers of fine dust on cars, buildings, and other surfaces, requiring frequent cleaning and maintenance. 📷 Despite their potentially hazardous nature, haboobs are also appreciated by some as natural spectacles, and many photographers capture stunning images of these massive dust storms. 🌱 Haboobs serve an ecological purpose by redistributing nutrients, dispersing seeds, and replenishing soil fertility.
