A large dust storm rolls through the Phoenix, Arizona area on Saturday.

This aerial footage captures the cloud as it engulfs the southwestern U.S. city at around 1600 local time.

Many roads were forced to close until the storm passed, with visibility severely restricted.

Dust storms like this have been a regular occurrence this summer, due to high temperatures and drought conditions.
