The dust storm was exacerbated by the same gale force winds and high temperatures that contributed to deadly bushfires sweeping through the country.
A dust storm turned the sky bright orange and covered everything in sight. Photos from the city, in the state of Victoria, look like they have been filtered with a red lens. The dust hit the city around midday with winds measuring up to 40 kilometers per hour and temperatures hitting nearly 40 degrees Celsius , according to CNN affiliate 7News.The dust storm was exacerbated by strong winds and high temperatures.
Kevin Parkyn of the Bureau of Meteorology told 9News that the red dust is topsoil, which has been loosened by the drought and made easier to kick up in wind."Until it rains, we'll see more of these types of events, unfortunately," he said.The drought is just one of the symptoms of Australia's increasingly dire climate crisis. The country is getting hotter and drier, and the rains have stopped coming, devastating the livelihoods of farmers.
