Haboobs

Български: Хабуб (Haboob, от арабски habb — вятър) е силен вятър и пясъчна буря (или прашна буря) в северните и централните части на Судан, особено около столицата Хартум, където средният брой на пясъчните бури от този тип на година е 24.

Deutsch: Der Habub (, deutsch starker Wind, Alternativschreibweise Haboob) ist ein Sandsturm, der Geschwindigkeiten bis zu 80 Kilometern in der Stunde erreichen und den Sand auf Höhen von bis zu 900 Meter aufwirbeln kann. Habubs kommen in den Monaten Mai bis September in der Sahara-Region vor.

English: A haboob ( Arabic هبوب) is a type of intense sandstorm commonly observed in arid regions throughout the world. They have been observed in the Sahara desert (typically Sudan), as well as across the Arabian Peninsula, throughout Kuwait, and in the most arid regions of Iraq. African haboobs result from the northward summer shift of the inter-tropical front into North Africa, bringing moisture from the Gulf of Guinea. Haboob winds in the Arabian Peninsula, Iraq and Kuwait are frequently created by the collapse of a thunderstorm. The arid and semiarid regions of North America – in fact any dryland region – may experience haboobs. In the USA, they are frequently observed in the deserts of Arizona, including Yuma and Phoenix. During thunderstorm formation, winds move in a direction opposite to the storm's travel, and they will move from all directions into the thunderstorm. When the storm collapses and begins to release precipitation, wind directions reverse, gusting outward from the storm and generally gusting the strongest in the direction of the storm's travel.
