In Sudan every year at the end of April, temperature began to increase more and more up to (49-50 C) at that time a wind called samoom (very hot and dry, with humidity less than 5%). Working to make the soil very loose, and when the first front of the wet air from Congo basin arriving to the north part of Sudan, it led to form a thunder clouds, sandstorm formes by the downdraft winds of a thunderstorm, and the high wall of sand moves under these clouds, Reduced visibility to zero when it hit any place, the force of haboob depends on (If the temperature is sufficiently severe or not).
It isn't confined only to Sudan, it happens in Arizona and other deserts as well.
