white-void 0 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 On the news this morning they were going on about yellow sand forecast for lots of parts of Japan. I thought that was a spring problem? I sure hope we don't have yellow tinged snow during the winter months..... Link to post Share on other sites

gerard 6 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Means there will be a slight yellow haze, especially in areas closer to the Japan sea coast. It blows over from China. Link to post Share on other sites

gerard 6 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 It just means that there will be really small particles of sand in the air, blown over from the Gobi desert as the winter weather pattern sets in. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 ok...and the sand from the Gobi Desert is yellow... Bit like the red dust phenomenon we have been experiencing in the Eastern parts of Aus?. Got it. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 it can happen in spring, it can happen in winter. This year it's been very dry in northern China, exacerbating the sand storms. It's even been very dry in Southern China where normally there should be flooding. Link to post Share on other sites
