What is the reason for the severe wind and sand in Beijing? The reason for the severe wind and sand in Beijing

1. The reason for the heavy sandstorms in Beijing is that it has a dry climate and is located downwind of the desert.

2. Sandstorms in Beijing mainly occur in winter and spring. Because the winds in these two seasons are relatively strong, relatively dry, and located downwind of the desert, this leads to strong sandstorms in Beijing. The large amount of dust carried by the sandy weather blocks the sun and light, and the weather is gloomy, resulting in reduced solar radiation and low visibility that can last from several hours to more than ten hours. A dim sky can easily make people feel depressed and reduce work and study efficiency. In addition, sand and dust weather has a great impact on traffic safety. Low visibility causes frequent traffic accidents, which may even cause highways to be closed and airplanes to be unable to take off or land normally. In severe cases, it may cause glass breakage in cars and train carriages, or even outages or derailments.
