Key Points Satellite observations and Meso‐NH model simulations are used to investigate an intense dust storm over north India in June 2018 Dust is mostly confined below 2 km in the monsoon flow over the Thar desert, northwest India and at ~3 km along the Ganges Valley The dust was accumulated in an arc‐shaped cloud in the convergence zone between the southwesterlies and the northwesterlies: the ITD
