اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا فِيهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهَا وَشَرِّ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ
O Allah, I ask You for its [the wind/disaster's] goodness, and the goodness of what it contains, and the goodness of what it was sent with. And I seek refuge in You from its evil, and the evil of what it contains, and the evil of what it was sent with.
Allahumma inni as'aluka khayraha wa khayra ma fiha wa khayra ma ursilat bih, wa a'udhu bika min sharriha wa sharri ma fiha wa sharri ma ursilat bih.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us to say this dua when the wind blew strongly. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated: "When the wind blew fiercely, the Prophet (peace be upon him) would say: 'Allahumma inni as'aluka khayraha wa khayra ma fiha wa khayra ma ursilat bih, wa a'udhu bika min sharriha wa sharri ma fiha wa sharri ma ursilat bih.'" (Sahih Muslim 1953)
