A youth football team got a surprise last week when they got an unexpected visitor in the form of a "mini-tornado". The 15-metre-high whirl of dust interrupted the training of a boys’ football team in Cologne last week, but at least it was caught on camera, according to Focus magazine. An expert from the German Weather Service (DWD) explained to the Rheinische Post how the little tornado occurred. These dust devils are often very short-lived, only swirling about briefly in the air. Therefore, dust devils are relatively rare in Germany.
