SloveniaRecently, a rare weather phenomenon known as a 'peščeni vrtinec' (or 'dust devil') occurred near Krška, surprising local residents and tennis players at nearby courts. One individual managed to capture video footage of this unusual event. According to meteorologists from the Neurje.si website, dust devils form when hot air rises rapidly due to intense ground heating, creating small whirlwinds that lift dust, sand, leaves, and other light particles into the air. These phenomena typically occur on sunny, hot, and dry days with relatively calm weather. While most dust devils are weak and cause no damage, stronger ones can reach wind speeds over 80 km/h, potentially toppling objects, damaging roofs, or causing minor material damage.
