In the municipality of Trstenik, the camera caught the "dust devil"
A not so typical video was made near Trstenik today. From the moving vehicle, the so-called dust devil was spoted.
- A little while ago, across the Morava in Ugljarevo, the so-called dust devil, a type of micro-vortex - it is stated in the description of the post on Facebook.
As meteorologist Djordje Djuric explained to the
Telegraph, this is a phenomenon that is called "dust devil".
- A rare occurrence, but not uncommon. It occurs most often in the summer part of the year, when the weather is calm, when there are no stronger winds - Đurić told us.
As he adds, it is caused by a pronounced temperature difference in a small area.
- It occurs mainly where there is dust, in the fields ... That is why it is rare to see it in the city, where there is concrete - he says, noting that this phenomenon is not related to a certain geographical area.
Although he associates it with a tornado, Đurić notes that they cannot be compared, and that the "dust devil" is not dangerous.
- It has nothing to do with the tornado. It arises from the ground to the height, and not the other way around as the tornado goes - he describes.
By the way,
the phenomenon is characteristic of desert and semi-arid areas, where, he says, they are much more developed. Hence, he explains, the name.
It is common in Australia and the Sahara.
