WeatherWatch.co.nz yesterday received first hand experiences from Sydney and Brisbane as an incredible dust storm blew through.

Over the next 24 to 72 hours WeatherWatch.co.nz forecasters believe the dust will pass through our skies, possibly creating a hazy appearance and for those regions who aren’t covered in rain or cloud you may get to witness orange sunrises and sunsets over the next few days.

Take a look at these fantastic images sent in by Australian WeatherWatch reader Shannon Wilcox.

If you have photos of the dust storm please do upload them here.

If you have any eyewitness accounts of the dust storm, or were maybe a passenger on board one of the affected flights, please post a comment below!

A nice use of photoshop!
