A major dust storm was seen clogging the skies over Arizona, U.S. on Monday.

The National Weather Service described the dust storm as a “haboob” and urged drivers to pull over if they encountered poor driving conditions.

Haboobs frequently occur during the summer monsoon season in the southwest United States.

They happen when thunderstorms produce downdrafts that kick up dry, loose sand on the desert floor, creating a wall of dust that travels outward, spanning a much larger area than the thunderstorm itself, according to a weather expert.
