“Monsoon 7”
Storm-chasing photographer Mike Olbinski (previously) returns with another stunning timelapse of summer thunderstorms in the western U.S. I never tire of watching the turbulent convection, microbursts, billowing haboobs, and undulating clouds Olbinski captures. His work is always a reminder of the incredible power and energy contained in our atmosphere and unleashed in cycles of warming and cooling, evaporation and condensation. (Video and image credit: M.

Friday 6 June - View across the Hudson River from Manhattan (NYC) mid-day.
A bit whiter than yesterday.
The river is not very wide, but the other side is in 'haze'. You can see even in the trees across the water, green washed out. Air quality: edge of OK.
Yes, still "unusual weather"... Smoke from the north, haboob from the Saraha (Africa), and everything else between. Well, wherever you are, stay safe, breathe carefully, and...Happy Weekend!

Serious dust storm conditions in New Mexico right now. 4/17/25 2025 #NMwx #duststorm #Haboob
A new Desert Sage letter: Of haboobs, invasions, border politics, and historical memory.
Welp, walked out of the coffee shop into a full-on #haboob. The entire sky is a dirty brown color, and sometimes the air smells like dirt. Perhaps this was not the best day to walk to the local watering hole and meeting place.
The sky isn't the color of a TV tuned to a dead channel, but rather the desert sands of West Texas.
CDPR wasn't too far off, were they? Cyberpunk and ecological dystopia, indeed.
Oooh, look, I can mark of "HABOOB" on the bingo card! #climatechangebingo #haboob
When cold down drafts are more dense and move out ahead of a dust storm, and if the outflow picks up dust, it becomes a haboob, a very specific type of dust storm.
Dust Storm warning for Tucson #haboob https://m.ai6yr.org/@easwatch/112787821083547203
Aaaaand yet another #haboob, this time from the west. That’s the third one in as many days, normally we get maybe 1-2 a year. It’s almost as if the climate is changing. 
Another #haboob rolled in today, this time from the south. Much smaller than the monster that plowed through a couple of weeks ago, but it packed a lot more rain behind it.

While the weather is quiet here, there is a massive #haboob moving westward across southern New Mexico and northern Mexico. There have been reports of visibility less than one-quarter of a mile along the leading edge of this haboob. Follow @NWSElPaso for more information. #NMwx

I noticed a dust cloud peeking up beyond the nearby mountain earlier and was able to catch it rolling in as it got a bit closer.
Oh look, it's a #haboob in #Phoenix. National Weather Service: DUST STORM WARNING for this area until 9:45 PM MST. Be ready for sudden drop to zero visibility. Pull Aside, Stay Alive! When visibility drops, pull far off the road and put your vehicle in park. Turn the lights off and keep your foot off the brake. Infants, the elderly and those with respiratory issues urged to take precautions. Source: NWS Phoenix AZ #AZwx #DustStorm #windy
