What an incredible sight to awaken to a thick dust storm across Sydney – infact the whole of NSW, the ACTÂ and Qld. It created a mess right across the Sydney suburbs and also caused disruptions to the airport.
The drought across NSW has deepened and this is a result of a strong upper level system that produced gale force winds with an associated wind shift. The wind shear was sufficient to lift dust which persisted for an extraordinary distance.
A more detailed discussion can be found in the duststorm topic.
