China's national observatory on Tuesday renewed a blue alert for sandstorms. During
the daytime on Tuesday, floating sand and dust are expected to sweep
parts of Xinjiang, Qinghai, Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Ningxia, Shaanxi,
Shanxi, Hebei, Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu, the National Meteorological
Center forecast. The eastern part of Xinjiang will be hit by sandstorms, the center said. It
has advised the public to take precautions against the heavy winds and
floating sand and dust, and suggested that drivers prepare for poor
visibility. Fewer areas will be affected by floating sand and dust Tuesday night due to precipitation. China
has a four-tier color-coded weather warning system for sandstorms with
red representing the most severe, followed by orange, yellow and blue.
