so apparently there's been a bunch of terrible car crashes on the highway in Illinois due to strong winds and blowing dust b/c farmers are plowing their dry fields.

😱

AND the NYT article about it quotes this guy saying this thing:

“August is whenever it’s really dusty,” Mr. Gorman, 22, said. “It was kind of odd for this time of year.”

--> do you have this use of 'whenever'?
