“The Haboob”
Haboobs are a dust storm driven by the strong winds at the forefront of weather fronts and thunderstorms. Those powerful winds pick up dust in arid and semi-arid landscapes, creating billowing, turbulent clouds that appear downright apocalyptic.
This particular haboob formed in Arizona in August 2025 and was caught in timelapse by photographer and storm chaser Mike Olbinski. The visuals–as always–are incredible. Definitely watch to the very end, as the haboob advances on the runway at Sky Harbor Airport. The tension is palpable as you watch flights line up and try to make it off the ground before the haboob swallows them. (Video and image credit: M. Olbinski)

Haboob (Storm 🌪️)
A haboob is an intense dust storm generated by strong winds from weather fronts or the downdrafts of thunderstorms. These storms occur in arid and semi-arid regions worldwide, including the Middle East, North Africa, Australia, and North America, and have also been observed on Mars and Titan. A haboob typically forms when cold air from a thunderstorm rushes downward, cau...

From the UK website for BBC— just a few hours after the haboob wall of dust passed thru Tucson and Casa Grande area south of Phoenix. It was pretty scary. We were lucky to be enough to the west we had a strong storm and very strong winds but lot much dust. We’re looking for more photos of part of Terminal 4 (the largest terminal at Sky Harbor Airport) that blew off in the storm. #Haboob #DustStorm #Dust #Weather #Arizona #Phoenix

“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.

Classic Arizona haboob racing across the desert (slightly sped up) this past summer during the annual monsoon season. We had a very productive week in Arizona this year documenting this weather pattern that is very crucial to the local ecosystem. I really enjoy my time out there every year and am hoping to do it the rest of my life. #azwx #haboob #monsoonseason #weather
