This research letter analyzes the patterns of occurrence and development of dust storms in southern European Russia at the end of September 2024. The study is based on satellite data from MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer; Terra and Aqua satellites) and VIIRS (Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite; Suomi NPP, NOAA 20, NOAA 21 satellites). According to meteorological station data, dust storms were recorded from September 27 to October 1, 2024, while satellite observations indicated the presence of sand-dust plumes between September 29 and October 1. The maximum area affected by the dust storm was recorded by the Aqua MODIS on September 30, covering approximately 19 million hectares and extending over 800 km. The prerequisites for the occurrence of dust storms included atmospheric drought (with a precipitation deficit of 30–70 % by the end of September) and soil drought (with a negative anomaly in volumetric soil moisture of 0.04–0.06  m3/m3 at a standard of 0.12–0.14  m3/m3), as well as sustained winds from east and southeast with maximum speeds exceeding 20 m/s. The transport of mineral particles in 2024 was primarily noted from arable lands along the borders of Kalmykia, Stavropol Krai, Volgograd Region, and Rostov Region, as well as from pastures on sandy soils in eastern Stavropol Krai and southern Kalmykia.
