A massive cloud of red dust, stirred up by strong winds and weather conditions, has been filmed in Western Australia. The phenomenon was recorded by weather enthusiast Steve Brooks from Perth.
Mr Brooks told the BBC that the dust cloud was unrelated to Cyclone Narelle, which forecasters had predicted to hit the area on Friday. He explained that thunderstorms occur most afternoons in the Pilbara region due to extreme heat and atmospheric instability.
The footage shows a towering wall of red dust sweeping across the landscape, highlighting the dramatic weather patterns common in the area during the summer months.
