Best Answer

A willy willy is a small to medium sized dust-devil, or rotating wind, which picks up debris and sand particles. 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 (non-Australian) information site has perpetuated the misinformation that the Australian Bureau of Meteorology refers to a willy-willy as a cyclone near Australia. This is blatantly incorrect. The Bureau of Meteorology makes no such claim.
