Clarification on haboob?

A haboob (Arabic: هَبوب, translit. habūb, lit. 'blasting/drifting') is a type of intense dust storm carried on an atmospheric gravity current, also known as a weather front. Haboobs occur regularly in dry land area regions throughout the world. Common in the Desert Southwest.

Great clarification, Steven. It literally means (blowing winds), but we only use it in Arabic for slightly strong wind storms, but when they causes strong dust storms we call them: (‘Aj) عج; or (shi’ef) شعف.

Thanks. Another appropriated word in English. And all these bozos say we don't need foreigners. Lol

You’re most welcome, Mr Mac. I think the first use of “haboob” in English on English-speaking country & media dates back to 2011. Here’s the video: https://youtu.be/4tQnDp0batM Maybe

That's looking apocalyptic! Why is that called a haboob? Haboob sounds like what they call middle eastern strippers.

Wtf is a haboob

It's a wildly used term the world over for a violent and oppressive wind blowing in summer that brings sand in from the desert

You sure it wasn't supposed to be habib?
-
Maybe the sharmuta that decided to use an Arabic word, not a word used the world over should use English words for English publications
-
