China's national observatory on Tuesday
renewed a blue alert for sandstorms in the northern, central and eastern
parts of the country. Starting from
Tuesday to 8 a.m. Wednesday, affected by cold fronts and heavy winds,
floating sand and dust are expected to sweep parts of Xinjiang, Inner
Mongolia, Hebei, Beijing, Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu and Hubei, among
others, forecast the National Meteorological Center. The
center has advised the public to take precautions against the heavy
winds and sandstorms, and suggested that drivers prepare for poor
visibility. China has a four-tier
color-coded weather warning system for sandstorms with red representing
the most severe, followed by orange, yellow and blue. Enditem
