Giant dusty whirlwind in Ukraine

April 18, in the vicinity of Cherkasy (Ukraine) there was a dusty whirlwind. Extending up the dusty column emerged over the field, had impressive size and there were a few moments.

Nezhdanova dry soil and unstable atmospheric conditions were ideal conditions for such mystical phenomena. Powerful convection raised the dust and twisted it in a spiral. Note that dust whirlwinds differ from the tornadoes at the lack of contact with cumulonimbus clouds-rain cloud, small size and insignificance of the damage.

Recall that all spring Ukraine suffers from drought. During April in the North raging wildfires. The products of combustion spread on a large area, including the capital.
