ArabiaWeather.com – In the world of weather, there are many weather phenomena, and the most violent of these phenomena is often associated with cumulus clouds, which sometimes produce downwinds that form huge sandstorms, such as those that occur repeatedly in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Today we have a video clip that shows, for the first time, the moment the downdrafts from the thundercloud rush towards the ground with great force, to stir up a large wave of dust and dust, as a nucleus to form huge sandstorms, or what is known as wall sandstorms.

This phenomenon occurs as a result of heavy rain falling in a limited area, and the immediate evaporation of part of this rain during its fall as a result of the high temperature, which leads to local cooling at the bottom of the cloud. Sometimes or strong winds destroy homes and uproot trees.
