What is haboob meaning?

A haboob is a type of intense dust storm that is common in arid and semi-arid regions, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa. It is typically formed when a thunderstorm develops in a region with a dry and unstable atmosphere, causing winds to pick up large amounts of sand and dust and carry them across the landscape. Haboobs can cause significant damage to buildings, vehicles, and infrastructure, and can also pose a serious health risk to people exposed to the dust-laden air. In recent years, haboobs have become more frequent and severe due to climate change and environmental degradation.
