This date, last year
Dust devil spotted in Wales

A swirling dust devil was spotted on a construction site in Wales on this date last year, lifting dust and dirt from the ground before quickly dissipating.

In the video captured in Magor, Wales, the devil can be seen forming and rapidly gaining form before disappearing soon after.

These dust devils may resemble a tornado, but lack any strength to inflict real damage. Learn more with our Weather Explained video.

Wales is no stranger to these dust devils. In 2021, workers at Tiny Brewing Company in Newport, Wales spotted a particularly active devil outside.
