Is there a sandstorm in Lanzhou at the end of August?

* * There may be a sandstorm in Lanzhou at the end of August. According to the weather forecast, August is the rainy season in Lanzhou. Although the rainfall is not too much, compared with other seasons, the precipitation at this time helps to suppress the occurrence of sandstorms. However, due to the low precipitation and high temperature in the early stage, the sand blowing area is large after the strong wind, and sandstorm weather may occur.

Chao Fu, chief forecaster of Lanzhou Central Meteorological Observatory, said that from the afternoon of August 15, there was a strong cold air running from west to east in the five cities in Hexi, Gansu Province, and there was a general windy and dusty weather. It is estimated that from the afternoon of 16 to the morning of 17, there will be sand-blowing or dusty weather in eastern Wuwei, including Baiyin, Lanzhou, northern Linxia, northwest Dingxi and Qingyang, which will last for a long time.
