A dust storm has been spotted in Murcia, near the Costa Blanca after extreme temperatures and intense heat caused this weather phenomenon.
THIS occurs when the surface of the ground is both extremely hot and dry. The fine dust particles are elevated by saltation and suspension, a process which can move soil from one place to another.
This dust storm was sighted in Murcia, more specifically in El Campillio in Moratalla.
