[Regnum] A sandstorm hit the city of Phoenix in the American state of Arizona, damaging the local Sky Harbor International Airport. This was reported on August 26 by The New York Times.
It is noted that the storms passed through central Arizona on the evening of August 25. The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) banned takeoffs and landings at the airport for an hour at about 18:30 (04:30 Moscow time, August 26), and after the ban was lifted, flights were delayed for 15-30 minutes.
A dust storm hit the town of Black Canyon, north of Phoenix, around 7 p.m. local time on Aug. 25 (5 a.m. Moscow time on Aug. 26), the National Weather Service said. The agency urged drivers to avoid the storm, warning of poor visibility and strong winds exceeding 50 mph (80 km/h). The warning was later lifted.
On April 30, Egyptian Streets reported that a sandstorm (hamaseen) had hit northwest Egypt, turning the sky bright orange and blanketing cities including Sallum, parts of Greater Cairo, and towns along the Suez Canal with thick clouds of dust. Hot southwesterly winds were blowing at speeds of up to 80 km/h, prompting local authorities to urge residents, especially children, the elderly, and people with respiratory illnesses, to stay indoors unless necessary, keep windows and doors closed, and use masks and goggles when going out.
It was specified that such spring sandstorms occur annually, bringing dry winds with low humidity and sharp temperature changes, the speed of which sometimes reaches 140 km/h.
