A sand storm swept across large areas of Northern and Northeastern China during May 26 to 28, making it this year’s longest lasting and most widespread in China.
According to a May 28 report from the Desertification Monitoring Center of China’s Forestry Administration, the storm, caused by anticyclones from Mongolia and Southern Mongolia, hit hardest in Central Northern Inner-Mongolia.
From May 28, the dust started to spread into most of Northeastern China, Beijing, Tianjin, Shandong Peninsula, Henan and Hebei provinces.
