Mongolia's Dust Storm Spreads to China, Japan and South Korea www.weather.com
Beijing saw its second duststorm in less than two weeks on Sunday, and the dust kept skies hazy in Shanghai on Monday and Tuesday as well.
The dust storm made the sun appear blue in Beijing on Sunday, as visibility was near zero and air pollution levels were measured at 500, which is the maximum level in China.
The dust also made its way to western and northeastern Japan and parts South Korea, and may continue into Wednesday, Japan Today reported.
The China Meteorological Administration issued a yellow alert on Friday ahead of the storm, which spread from Mongolia into northern Chinese provinces including Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Liaoning and Hebei. The administration also advised citizens to stay home if possible.
The dust storm forced flight delays and cancellations in northern China, and in Inner Mongolia, about 60% of flights were canceled at Chifeng Airport and 50% were canceled at Baotou Airport on Sunday, according to the South China Morning Post.
The China Meteorological Administration said that a relatively warm spring and reduced rain in Mongolia are contributing to the recent dust storms. Click through the slideshow above to see how the dust storms are affecting several countries across Asia.
