Why do sandstorms occur mostly in the spring?

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'.
