A cold front began to affect western and northern China regions Sunday, causing temperature plunge and floating dust.
Sand-dust weather began to affect northwestern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and western part of northern Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region early Sunday morning, and the dusty weather is expected to move eastward to influence north China regions starting 2:00 p.m. Sunday, according meteorologists.
The main part of the sand-dust would not enter Beijing, but some areas in the city would see floating dust brought about by force four to five winds, according to experts with the Beijing Municipal Meteorological Observatory.
Meng Xuefeng, senior engineer with the Inner Mongolia Meteorological Station, said this cold front would bring a temperature plunge up to 16 degrees and the first sandstorm in spring to the region.
China Meteorological Administration (CMA) said early Sunday a cold front would sweep across most parts of China, from west to east, over the next three days, starting 8:00 a.m. Sunday, and will bring rains and sandstorms to affected regions.
Temperatures will drop by up to 16 degrees Celsius in some regions, the CMA said.
The southern part of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, central areas of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, western part of Gansu Province and central part of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region will see sandstorms brought by force 5 to 7 wind in the coming three days.
The cold front will bring snow to most parts in the north and rains to areas to the south of the Yellow River, according to the CMA.
