Severe sand and dust storms in 12 provinces on the mainland, the whole city of Beijing is dusky and draped in yellow sand
According to the Central Weather Station of the Communist Party of China (CPC), sand and dust weather occurred in 12 provinces and cities, including Beijing, Tianjin, Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning, and some areas had sand and dust storms during the day and night of the 15th. In the morning, Beijing was hit by dusty weather, PM10 concentration soared and the sky was covered with yellow sand. Netizens have been spitting. The sandstorm has reportedly killed six people and left more than 80 people missing in Mongolia.
Ms. Liu, a resident of Beijing’s Daxing district, told Radio Free Asia that she went out in the morning and there was yellow in front of her eyes. But it was yellow, and the ground was yellow. At 5 a.m., the driver drove and found that the vision was very poor, he couldn’t see anything at 10 meters, the fog was so thick that he felt spicy. For decades, this has never been the case. I’ve never seen such a big dust storm in 20 years in Beijing.

More people are worried that this dust storm will become the “new normal” for Beijing.
