In short:

A dust haze has descended over Sydney and the Illawara, with some suburbs reporting "hazardous" air quality.

According to NSW Health, dust particles can cause irritated eyes, nose and throat, and exacerbate pre-existing diseases and health conditions.

What's next?

The Bureau of Meteorology says conditions should ease over Tuesday.

Got up this morning and saw what looked like light summer bushfire smoke over the south Sydney, Botany Bay area (where our windows look out to). Saw this on the news not long after.

Edit: It didn't look as heavy as the area in the video.
