The Central Meteorological Agency said, "Severe yellow dust is descending southward due to gusty winds in the desert area of Inner Mongolia," and "sand winds are blowing in some areas in the north such as Inner Mongolia."
Some areas, such as Inner Mongolia, are in such a state of dust that it is impossible to see things with the naked eye, and the air quality index has been recorded as Level 6 "Severe Pollution," the worst level of air quality.
Earlier, yesterday, in some northern areas such as Beijing, apartments and buildings in the city center were vaguely outlined, and severe yellow dust with an air quality index of level 6 occurred, and a yellow dust blue alert was issued for the first time this year.
