Is it windy and dusty in Xining?

It's huge. Xining, located in the northeast of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, belongs to a typical inland plateau climate with four distinct seasons and a dry climate. Because it is located on the plateau, the air is thin and there is less precipitation, so sandstorm weather is more common. Among them, spring and autumn are the seasons with frequent sandstorms in Xining. In spring, the temperature in Xining rises, the air pressure changes greatly, and the alternation of cold and warm air currents is easy to cause sandstorm weather. At this time, there are often strong winds in Xining, and sandstorms and sand blowing are common. In autumn, the temperature in Xining city drops, the air pressure changes greatly, and the cold and warm airflow meet, which is also easy to form sandstorm weather. At this time, although Xining is sunny most of the time, sandstorms often occur, especially in dry years.
