Why is Toksun a windy city?

Every spring or autumn is a windy season in Toksun. According to the statistics of Toksun County Meteorological Bureau, in recent years, the windy weather of magnitude 8 or above in Toksun has reached 40 to 50 days every year, and 200 1 year has reached 48 days. In the 1980s, there were 108 windy days every year in Toksun County. When the wind gathers, it will be flying sand and stones, and the sky will be dark.

Zhang Hongxin, secretary of the Party branch of the Toksun Meteorological Bureau, said that when Siberian cold air went south, it was blocked by Tianshan Mountain, and it was rainy and snowy in the northern mountainous area of Tianshan Mountain, and windy in the southern part of Tianshan Mountain. Within 30 kilometers of Tianshan Mountain in the northwest of Toksun County, the 18 mountain pass becomes a tuyere, which concentrates the volume of wind and increases energy. As soon as it reached the Toksun Plain, it swooped down like a tiger and swept through Toksun.

Xinjiang is a windy area in China, which is known as the nine windy areas. However, because other wind areas are no man's land, Toksun wind area has a large population and a lot of cultivated land, and has become a famous "wind city" in Xinjiang and even the whole country.
