Dust storms are most likely to occur on hot summer days under certain atmospheric conditions, so meteorologists can frequently predict the possibility of these storms. The last recorded devastating sandstorm in American history was the Dust Bowl which caused the depression. One that occurred near Tucson, Arizona, on July 16, 1971, was extensively documented by meteorologists.
Field observations, accompanied by trapping of airborne solids, showed that in Israel most of the sand and dust storms occur in the fall and winter seasons when dry periods change to periods of wet weather.
In Kuwait, the month of April is known as 'sandstorm month'. Sandstorms that come from Northern Africa and drift across Europe are called 'Sahara Sand Storms'.

In what areas do sandstorms most frequently occur?
This wind is usually caused by convection currents (which are created by intense heating of the ground), and is usually strong enough to move entire sand dunes. Air is unstable when heated, and this instability in the air will cause the mixture of higher winds in the troposphere with winds in the lower atmosphere, producing strong surface winds. sandstorms occur in deserts all over the world. However, the magnitude of sandstorms that occur in the United States usually pale in comparison to those in other parts of the world such as the Middle East and China. In addition, it should be noted that sandstorms typically occur most frequently in spring. It is impossible to give a complete list of where sandstorms occur because, to some extent, they can occur virtually anywhere. The main three geographic regions are the Middle East, Northern Africa, and Northern China. Here is a list of countries most typically associated with sandstorms because of their geography and climate: Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, China, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mongolia, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan Notice that the United States is not on the list. That is because, relatively speaking, sandstorms are a rare and minor occurrence in comparison to certain other natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes.
