Locals battled high winds to retrieve an umbrella blown by a dust devil across a field in Thailand.

Footage shows villagers running after the orange parasol as it flew away, buoyed by the twister whipping in a field in Amnat Charoen province on August 10.

Dust devil tornadoes are types of whirlwinds that form when the sun heats a patch of land and the air above becomes warmer and rises quickly.

Cooler air then moves into the low-pressure gap left by the rising warm air. The new drafts of cooler air also heat up and rise and the cycle continues, picking up dust and debris and making the spiral visible.

They are not as dangerous as supercell tornadoes, which can cause severe damage.
