Sands and Dusts Enveloped Beijing Times in Spring

The disaster consisted of three similar sand-related disastrous weather phenomena of different intensities -- a sandstorm or dust storm, drifting sands and blowing sands. It was also the decade's worst to have hit north and Northwest China's drought-prone areas, said weather officials and experts. |
