(悉尼22日综合电)澳洲出现严重沙尘暴,让悉尼和首都坎培拉等多地笼罩在一片红雾当中,因为能见度低,悉尼机场被迫只用一条跑道运作,多班国际线、国内线班机延误。
据澳洲气象专家表示,不排除2009年沙尘暴事件将再度重演。
大量橘红色沙尘就像一面高墙慢慢逼近,沙尘暴席卷澳洲,让悉尼和首都坎培拉都陷入一片雾茫茫,经典的地标像是港湾大桥和歌剧院,都快要看不到了。
这场沙尘暴是从澳洲东南部的新南威尔斯开始往东部沿海大都会吹,新南威尔斯部分地区更是像世界末日景象,被橘红沙尘围困住。
强风让沙尘暴威力更强,面积将近两个台湾大,这也让都市地区的空气品质出现红色警告。
新南威尔斯卫生部官员:“这对所有人来说都,是会造成健康威胁的,但对心肺已有病症的人来说,伤害更大。”
过去几天内已经接获超过100件气喘或呼吸不适的急救病例,当局也警告呼吸系统敏弱族群得小心,而为什么会出现像这样的沙尘暴,也是和气候转变有关。
This is incredible. A potent dust storm has darkened the skies around Wilcannia and Broken Hill in rural New South Wales. A wall of dust is currently bearing down on Sydney and Canberra, with warnings issued for asthmatics. Be careful out there. pic.twitter.com/Rzm6epwAx4

Light #dust already beginning to impact #Sydney #CentralCoast and #Illawarra. However the main band of thicker dust is still on the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range. We expect the dust to gradually thicken over Sydney in the next few hours. pic.twitter.com/3TvbekzzYg
