Difference between tornado and dust devil
Dust devils are basically way smaller than tornadoes. They don’t cause any damage, except swirl dust around. They are common during the spring and summer due to warm winds. The average speed of dust devil is 40 mph while tornadoes can have winds greater than 300 mph. Tornadoes form due to super cell, which is a rotating powerful thunderstorm. In both of these weather system the air rotates around them in circular motion.
Intensity of Dust devil
Dust devils are small and weak, often less than 3 feet in diameter with maximum winds averaging about 45 mph, and they often dissipate less than a minute after forming.
On extremely rare occasions, a dust devil can grow very large and intense, sometimes reaching a diameter of up to 300 feet with winds in greater than 60 mph and can last for upwards of 20 minutes before dissipating. In the Arizona state of the United States, many rare powerful dust devils have formed that killed many people these dust devils had winds greater than 75 mph.
