Sydney Suffocates: Dust Storm Turns Skies Orange
Sydney shrouded in dust: A South Australian dust storm, driven by 65km/h winds, blankets the city in a hazy orange glow, prompting warnings for damaging winds and poor air quality. The Bureau of Meteorology forecasts a cooler 21C for Sunday. Weatherzone attributes the storm to loose soil and lack of rain in South Australia, with north-westerly winds carrying the dust into NSW and Victoria. "Sydneysiders can wave goodbye to the comfortable mid-20s," a spokesperson for the Bureau of Meteorology commented, referring to the drop in temperature. The dramatic visuals of the dust storm engulfing the city skyline provide a compelling story for news outlets.
