Although the mountain cherries are out now, we can hardly see them on the other side of the valley. This year is pretty bad ... in many parts of Japan. Korea is also severely experiencing this phenomenon, with red alert in many cities. And Peking, Mongolia ...

Today again ... (April 18, 2006)
strong currents brought the yellow sand from the Gobi desert in China.
Yellow sand blows into Japan from deserts in China and Mongolia each spring, sometimes reaching Kyoto and impeding the visibility of things.

Strong currents brought it to many parts of Japan and also to my valley.

Yellow sand was observed in wide areas of western Japan on Saturday in a rare winter occurrence of the phenomenon, the Japan Meteorological Agency said. It is the first time since 1993 that yellow sand has been observed in the nation in the month of December. The meteorological phenomenon, which usually occurs in spring, makes the sky hazy and reduces visibility.
Yellow sand was detected in Kagoshima, Miyazaki, Tottori, Hiroshima and other prefectures in western Japan. Visibility at many observation points in the prefectures was over 10 km, but it fell to 7 km in Tottori and 8 km in Matsue, Shimane Prefecture. The sand is believed to have been carried from China by westerly winds, the agency said.

STORM 大荒れ
quote
March 20, 2010 at 10:10 am
A strong weather disturbance in Western China has hit Beijing with a huge sandstorm from the Gobi Desert. While Beijing suffers periodically from sand blown from the nearby desert, this is the most intense sandstorm to hit the capital city in years.
Experts said that affected by Mongolia cyclone, from Tuesday to Wednesday's afternoon, sandstorm covered most areas of northwest China and the northern and western areas of north China, including Beijing, together with five to seven degree strong wind.
