Police are warning all motorists across the state to be aware of potential dust storms during the extremely hot weather and strong winds today.

Drivers in both metropolitan and regional areas should remain vigilant as the hot weather conditions are very conducive with bad dust, and dust storms are highly likely to occur in unpredictable areas.

Visibility will be impacted in the event of a dust storm, and all motorists should take extra care and drive to the conditions.

South Australia Police also advises that drivers of any type of vehicle should:

* Put your hazard lights on

* Pull over to a safe spot away from the road

* If possible, keep your vehicle away from trees

Drivers in both metropolitan and regional areas should remain vigilant as trees have been affected by the severe temperatures and are likely to fall and cause potential road hazards or injury.
