A Great Dust Storm

While looking at ABC's lack of reporting of failed weather forecasts, here's another forecast for the diary...
Australian dust storm could be weeks away

"An earth scientist says another major dust storm over south-eastern Australia is likely within weeks."

This is no surprise given the frequency of dust storms in Australia. See for instance this report titled "Severe Dust Storms" from the Sydney Morning Herald Tuesday 27 September, 1938.

We'll look back in four weeks time to see how this particular forecast faired.
