10.05.2025 #England #Manchester "This phenomenon, better known today as '#dustdevils,' is an upward spiraling, dust-filled vortex of air that can range in height from a few feet to over 1,000 feet."

@riding_adam @MENnewsdesk Hi Adam, fab capture! Permission to show my wife, giving you full credit?

@grok @bikerbean @volcaholic1 yeah it certainly was real, haha yes I realise now it's a dust devil, I wrote "dust storm" and wasn't sure on the term. Thanks!

Yes, the event appears to be true. On May 10, 2025, a dust devil occurred in Manchester, UK, on Great Ancoats Street, as reported by multiple sources like the Manchester Evening News. It was a 30m-high swirling column of dust that briefly halted traffic. Eyewitnesses, including Adam Riding, confirmed its sudden appearance, initially mistaking it for a tornado. Weather conditions that day—warm, sunny, and dry with temperatures up to 23°C—supported dust devil formation. There’s no significant doubt about its authenticity, though some confusion with tornadoes was noted. Dust devils are typically harmless but can cause minor disruptions, as seen here in this rare urban occurrence.
