Dust devil filmed dancing across Hampshire industrial park

A dust devil has been filmed dancing across a car park outside a cafe on an industrial park.

The phenomenon was filmed at KJ’s Cafe in Marchwood, Hampshire, by Martin Somes on Thursday.

According to the Met Office, a dust devil is “an upward spiralling dust filled vortex of air that may vary in height from a few feet to over 1,000”.

“They mainly occur in desert and semi-arid areas, where the ground is dry and high surface temperatures produce strong updrafts,” it added.

Although they resemble tornadoes, dust devils are not as powerful, but as they travel across the ground they can also carry other loose debris such as hay.
