Hi.. Im a dust devil reseacher.. Would you happen to know the temp at time of videoing of dust devil? Thanks!

Hey there, give a few days to search my flight records, this flight was after all the last week of April or first week of May 2022. If I had to guess, I would say it was 16/61.

@@droneflyernick Thanks! For getting back to me.. Great Video!👍

[@droneflyernick]

This drone flight was on May 1st 2022, the low was 5c/41f high 15c/59f. humidity was 65% in the am and 41% mid afternoon, winds 4.7 to 7.4. Hope this helped. My flight was around 13:30.

@@droneflyernick Hey Thank you so much.. That's a great help.. Yeah been researching dust devils.. And convinced that not of them are caused by overheated air mass.. I no mostly caused from insolation.. But leaning toward more ionic electrostatic disturbances..👍

I know some people believe that electrostatic forces help dust become airborne in dust devils, and some people have recorded strong electric fields inside dust devils. But hot air near the surface of the ground must be the primary cause of their formation.
