Rare dust devil captured on camera in Ameenpur, Hyderabad; Sparks curiosity
On February 15, 2025, a dust devil was observed on Kistareddipet Road in Ameenpur, Hyderabad. The phenomenon, captured on video and shared on social media, sparked local interest. Telangana Weatherman explained that dust devils occur during dry conditions and hot temperatures, creating low-pressure areas that draw in surrounding air, forming a swirling vortex. This vortex picks up dirt and debris before dissipating after a short time. This wasn't the first dust devil sighting in the region, with a similar event reported in 2023 at JNTU playground. While generally harmless, experts advise maintaining a safe distance from dust devils as they can lift debris that could be harmful if inhaled.06:25 PM Feb 15, 2025 IST
