A dust devil is a strong, well-formed, and relatively long-lived whirlwind, ranging from small (half a metre wide and a few metres tall) to large (more than 10 metres wide and more than 1000 metres tall). The primary vertical motion is upward. Dust devils are usually harmless, but can on rare occasions grow large enough to pose a threat to both people and property.
The whirlwind raises dust, sand, pebbles, small objects from the surface and sometimes transfers them a considerable distance. Vortices pass a narrow strip, so that the wind may be weak at the meteorological station, but in fact the wind speed reaches 8-10 m / s or more inside the vortex.
