Dust storms typically occur more frequently during the dry season, when there is less vegetation to hold the soil in place and more dry, dusty conditions that can be whipped up by winds to create a storm. This dry season can vary depending on the region, but dust storms are more common in arid and semi-arid areas.

Are there dust storms in Western Australia?

Most certainly. Most of Western Australia is desert, and therefore prime country for dust storms, some of them quite spectacular. A case in point was in January 2013, when a dust storm that moved out to the ocean off the northwest of the state created what looked like a huge red wave. The so-called red wave was created when winds collected tonnes of red dust from the area around Onslow.
