Q: Why are sandstorms in North China so frequent this year?
A: The current dusty weather is the eighth round in this year, while the average number of sandstorms during the same period in previous years is about 5 to 6 times. There are multiple reasons for the frequent sandstorms in the north of China this year.
According to meteorologist Wang Weiyue, the cold air activity in the country has remained active in March and April. During the influence of cold air, Mongolian cyclones and cold fronts on the ground have become favorable catalysts, transporting sand and dust from the sand source areas downstream to even more southern and farther areas.
