Dust devils are a common wind phenomenon and are dust-filled vorticles created by strong surface heating, the National Weather Service explains. Typical dust devil diameters range from 10 to 300 feet and are about 500 to 1,000 feet tall.
Usually, dust devils last only a few minutes before dissipating and usually make an appearance on warm, dry days.
