No country calls hurricanes willy-willies.
A willy willy is a small to medium sized dust-devil, or rotating wind, which picks up debris and sand particles. It is completely harmless. It is not a sandstorm: neither is it restricted to deserts and sandy regions. Although it is more common in the outback, it can regularly be encountered within open suburban areas such as school grounds or parks.
It is important to note that, for some time, a popular information site has perpetrated the misinformation that the Australian Bureau of Meteorology refers to a willy-willy as a cyclone near Australia. This is blatantly incorrect.
